This paper describes the discovery and interaction of devices in a home network. It defines an innovative Device Discovery and Description Framework called 3DF, that integrates existing networking and interoperability protocols. It addresses semantic device descriptions with multiple views, dynamic capability changes and driver support in an advanced way, taking into consideration aspects such as reusability, extendibility and ease of use.
