Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 6071))

Abstract

Smart home is an adaptive system that controls house to make household members’ life easier. There are plenty of not yet researched issues concerning this concept, such as the ability to update the architecture during system runtime. This paper presents a solution how to design such system on the JADE framework. To solve the problem of on-the-fly update, each agent needs to work in an OSGi environment. The proposal of new architecture is evaluated by means of the use case technique.
