Abstract
Previous RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) middleware did not include intelligent capabilities such as automatically controlling home appliances and users. Therefore, we add USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technology, which recognizes and manages an appliance’s state-information (temperature, humidity, pollution and so on) by connecting RFID tags, and propose the Smart Multi-Agent Middleware architecture for intelligently managing the RFID-based ubiquitous computing environment. We also present the proposed architecture’s execution procedure for controlling ubiquitous appliances.
This study was supported by a grant of the Korea Health 21 R&D Project, Ministry of Health & Welfare, Republic of Korea. (0412-MI01-0416-0002).
