Globally distributed locally centralized architecture: an efficient and convenient architecture on home network
Kai Fu · IET International Conference on Wireless Mobile and Multimedia Networks Proceedings (ICWMMN 2006) · 2006
Technologies currently available for home network only electronically connect devices in various forms and functions, and provide simple interaction and communication among devices. However, these technologies fail to provide mechanism for efficient and effective interoperation among devices in home network. In this paper, an architecture-globally distributed locally centralized architecture (or GDLC architecture for short) together with its middleware is represented, which can seamlessly integrate home devices and effectively interoperate devices. Moreover, it provides a good way to manage a huge amount of data. (4 pages)
