Recent advancements in processors and networks has allowed emerging technologies to network various home electric appliances, including TVs, air-conditioners, lights, DVD players, and refrigerators.A system consisting of such networked home appliances is generally called a Home Network System (HNS).A major HNS application is the integrated service of networked home appliances (we simply call HNS integrated service in the following).The HNS integrated service orchestrates different home appliances to provide a more comfortable and convenient living environment for the users.HNS is considered to be one of the next-generation value-added services in a ubiquitous computing environment.This dissertation presents two main contributions to the effective development of the HNS integrated services.
