Service-oriented home network middleware based on OGSA

In this paper, we present a service-oriented home network middleware based on open grid service architecture. It supports two services: automatic distribution and dynamic migration schemes which shall be exploited efficiently in ubiquitous home networking environment. The deployment of Open Grid Service Architecture (OGSA) allows our system to have several advantages: adaptability, dynamic configuration, transparency, fault tolerance and performance. Automatic distribution service supports adaptability, dynamic configuration and transparency by providing automatic allocation and execution of home network platforms. Dynamic migration service supports fault tolerance and performance by migrating the processes in the failed server or with poor performance.
