多服务发现协议的互操作框架研究

服务发现协议（Service Discovery Protocol）是支持程序和设备自动发现并访问网络中所需服务的协议，是分布式环境特别是普适环境下进行资源共享、数据集成、流程协作的前提。目前学术界和工业界已经提出了多种服务发现协议，如UPnP SSDP、SLP、Salutation、Bluetooth SDP。这些服务发现协议提供了类似的功能，但在适用网络类型、描述模型、发现机制、服务使用方式等方面存在着高度的异构性，导致使用不同服务发现协议的设备之间无法直接进行交互，从而限制了服务使用者和服务提供者之间的交互范围及交互能力。同时这其中的一些协议已经成为事实上的工业标准，但目前并没有一个能够适用于所有场景并占据整个市场，并且在很长的一段时间内不可能出现一个通用的协议来取而代之，同时，要求服务请求者和服务提供者同时支持多种服务发现协议是不现实的，因此迫切需要一种互操作框架来实现各种服务发现协议之间的互操作，从而允许服务使用者能够以其自有的方式在网络上发现并使用所需的各种服务，而不用考虑服务发布所采用的具体服务发现协议及调用方式的不同。 目前学术界和工业界在服务发现协议的互操作方面进行了不少探索和研究，但在互操作对象的可扩展性及互操作的透明性、范围方面仍存在不少问题尚未得到有效地解决。 本文主要研究跨网络环境下的服务发现协议的互操作。本文基于抽象语义信息的互操作模型，综合考虑了上下文信息，采用分阶段事件驱动的技术处理并发请求，设计并实现了具有透明性、可扩展性、高效性的服务发现协议互操作框架（Service CatlogNet Interoperable Framework，SCNIF），本文设计与实现了三种服务发现协议（UPnP SSDP、SLP、SCN）的互操作插件，还给出了新加入服务发现协议的互操作插件的实现方案。

LAR : laboratório de automação residencial para análise comparativa entre Jini e UPnP

A Automação Residencial é uma área em crescimento no mercado mundial. À medida que os avanços tecnológicos são incorporados aos dispositivos pertencentes ao ambiente residencial, e que estes se tornam mais disseminados, surgem necessidades para fabricantes e usuários. Para os fabricantes, é desejável maior capacidade de conexão e intercâmbio de dados entre os dispositivos e, conseqüentemente, padronização. Para os usuários, é desejável maior facilidade na utilização dos dispositivos e, principalmente, na configuração dos mesmos em ambientes dinâmicos, de forma a não requerer interação do usuário para a conexão e desconexão, característica das redes espontâneas. Grandes empresas têm unido esforços no desenvolvimento de novos padrões e uma das tendências observadas é o isolamento destas novas necessidades numa camada entre a aplicação e o sistema operacional, denominada middleware. Este trabalho compara duas tecnologias que se enquadram nos critérios acima: Jini, da Sun Microsystems e Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), de um consórcio de empresas liderado pela Microsoft. O estudo é feito através do desenvolvimento de um protótipo, da definição de um conjunto de métricas qualitativas e quantitativas, e da implementação de um conjunto de workloads para a análise comparativa entre elas. Os resultados obtidos são apresentados e analisados, contribuindo com subsídios para os interessados em conhecer melhor ou optar por uma delas. Por fim, são registradas algumas necessidades observadas que poderão servir como base para trabalhos futuros.

Android en el Hogar Digital usando UPnP y Redes LonWorks

Este Proyecto Final de Carrera se centra principalmente en el estudio de las tecnologías aplicadas al Hogar Digital (HD) y así poder desarrollar nuevas herramientas aplicadas a este Sector. La primera tecnología estudiada es LonWorks que se escogió porque en la EUITT se cuenta con un entorno domótico donde se aplica esta tecnología, materializado como una maqueta de una instalación LonWorks en un HD. Sobre este entorno se ha desarrollado una nueva forma de gestionar y controlar los elementos de una Red LonWorks mediante la tecnología Universal Plug & Play (UPnP). Los dispositivos LonWorks han sido recubiertos con una capa con la que se consigue tratar los elementos LonWorks como dispositivos UPnP, pudiendo de esta manera trabajar bajo un mismo formato de dispositivo. Este formato está definido por un documento denominado Descripción del Dispositivo UPnP. Por tanto, no es necesario conocer el estado de los dispositivos de la Red LonWorks, sino únicamente trabajar bajo una Red UPnP, creando nuevos dispositivos UPnP, puntos de Control y servicios a partir de los elementos LonWorks. Una vez realizado el recubrimiento del sistema LonWorks con UPnP, se ha definido y desarrollado una aplicación para Android que, permite controlar los elementos de la maqueta del HD desde un Smartphone o una Tablet. El acceso a la Red LonWorks de la maqueta del HD se hace a través de la interfaz Web Services SOAP/XML del dispositivo iLON100. ABSTRACT. This Final Degree Project is mainly focused on the study of the technologies applied to Digital Home and thus be able to develop new tools applied to this area. The first study is LonWorks technology which was chosen because the EUITT has a domotic environment where this technology is applied, materialized as a demonstrator of a LonWorks installation in HD. With this environment has developed a new way to manage and control the elements of a LonWorks network through technology by Universal Plug & Play (UPnP). LonWorks devices are covered with a layer and it is achieved LonWorks elements treat as UPnP devices. In this way the LonWorks elements can work under one device format. This format is defined by a document called UPnP Device Description. Therefore, it isn't necessary to know the state of the LonWorks network devices, but only work under an UPnP network, creating new UPnP devices, control points and services from LonWorks elements. After backfill of LonWorks system with UPnP, have being defined and developed an Android application that allow controlling the elements of the mockup of HD from Smartphone or a Tablet. The LonWorks network Access of the mockup of HD is done through the Web Interface Services SOAP / XML iLON100 device.

Extensão do padrão UPnP para a integração de sistemas de automação residencial.

O presente trabalho discute a compatibilidade e integração entre sistemas e dispositivos de automação residencial, propondo formas de melhorá-la. Essa integração tende a se tornar uma tarefa complexa devido à grande variedade de padrões e tecnologias de integração adotados na automação residencial. O presente trabalho propõe uma extensão do padrão Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) e a utilização de uma arquitetura modular com duas camadas, afim de adaptá-lo à integração dos subsistemas de automação residencial. Esse padrão estendido é, então, utilizado na camada superior, para o controle e integração entre os subsistemas. Já na camada inferior, cada subsistema utiliza a tecnologia de comunicação mais adequada para controlar seus dispositivos, e possui uma interface UPnP para se comunicar com outros subsistemas e permitir seu controle pelo usuário. Dessa forma os subsistemas tornam-se módulos do sistema de automação da residência. Essa proposta permite que o usuário compre e substitua facilmente subsistemas de fabricantes distintos, de forma a integrá-los, resultando em um sistema de automação residencial flexível e independente de fabricante. Para testar a extensão proposta, um caso de uso de um subsistema de iluminação foi criado. A partir deste, foram realizadas simulações computacionais. Os resultados destas foram apresentados e analisados, verificando-se o atendimento aos requisitos do sistema e se as características desejadas foram alcançadas, tais como, a característica plug and play de subsistemas, o aumento da flexibilidade e a modularização do sistema, para facilitar a compra e manutenção de sistemas de automação residencial, gerando o potencial para fomentar a maior adoção de sistemas de automação residencial. No entanto, a extensão proposta também resulta no aumento da complexidade do cliente UPnP que a utiliza para interagir com o sistema, o que pode dificultar a adoção de sistemas de automação residencial no futuro. Por fim, sugestões de continuidade e perspectivas futuras foram apresentadas.

普适环境下服务发现的语义支持机制

随着计算能力和通信能力的增强，计算设备所占用的体积也越来越小，各种新形态的传感器、移动设备及无线网络设备日趋普及。这极大地促进了以无线、移动和嵌入式设备为基础的普适计算模式的形成和发展。普适环境下的服务发现机制可使得用户能够使用各种移动设备无缝的、随时随地的共享和访问各种服务信息。 普适环境中的网络异构性和动态性，以及服务的多样性和异构性，均对服务发现提出了新的挑战。目前学术界和工业界在服务发现方面进行了不少的探索和研究，当前的一些服务发现协议或系统比如SLP、UPnP、INS等，一般基于语法的方法描述服务，主要关注服务的功能性需求，但基于关键字来匹配请求和服务描述，在普适环境下常常会导致较差的匹配结果。 针对服务发现在普适环境中的新需求，本文基于XML定义了一种轻量级的服务语义建模语言SML，SML定义了丰富的数据类型，以模板和属性的方式定义各领域的实体，可以表达丰富的语义知识；同时，本文以轻量级的推理引擎Jess为依托，将用服务建模语言定义的各应用领域的服务模板和语义知识自动转换成Jess的推理规则和事实。本文定义了一种类似XPath的服务查询语言规范，并在支持精确匹配的基础上，提出了服务的近似匹配策略，提供了各种的近似计算规则。鉴于不同用户对服务的各属性有不同的偏好程度，还提出了基于用户偏好的服务匹配策略。动态的上下文信息是服务匹配过程的重要考虑因素。本文以Jess规则来匹配服务和用户的上下文，选择适合于用户当前情况的服务。对服务各种QoS的描述支持也是服务语义建模语言提供的功能之一，为此，本文还提出了一种基于Pareto最优的服务选择策略，根据服务的QoS以及服务与请求的匹配程度来选择Pareto最优的服务。本文的上述工作已实现到服务发现系统Service CatalogNet Extended中。

黄东海及朝鲜海峡冰后期陆架沉积物的环境磁学研究

There are four chapters in this dissertation. The first chapter briefly synthesizes the basic theories, methods and present-day applying situation of environmental magnetism. The second chapter probes into the magnetic mineral diagenesis in the post-glacial muddy sediments from the southeastern South Yellow Sea and its response to marine environmental changes, using the muddy sediment of Core YSDP103 formed in the shelf since about 13 ka BP. The third chapter illustrates the high-resolution early diagenetic processes by investigating the rapidly deposited muddy sediments during the last 6 ka in Cores SSDP-102 and SSDP-103 from the near-shore shelf of Korea Strait. The fourth chapter presents the results of detailed rock magnetic investigation of the surface sediments from the fine-grained depositional area on the outer shelf of the East China Sea in an attempt to provide environmental magnetic evidence for the provenance of the fine-grained deposit. Core YSDP103 was retrieved in the muddy deposit under the cold eddy of the southeastern South Yellow Sea, and the uppermost 29.79 m core represents the muddy sediments formed in the shelf since about 13 ka BP. The lower part from 29.79 to 13.35 m, called Unit A2, was deposited during the period from the post-glacial transgression to the middle Holocene (at about 6 ~(14)C ka BP) when the rising sea level reached its maximum, while the upper part above 13.35 m (called Unit Al) was deposited in a cold eddy associated with the formation of the Yellow Sea Warm Current just after the peak of post-glacial sea level rise. For the the uppermost 29.79 m core, detailed investigation of rock-magnetic properties and analyses of grain sizes and geochemistry were made. The experimental results indicate that the magnetic mineralogy of the core is dominated by magnetite, maghemite and hematite and that, except for the uppermost 2.35 m, the magnetic minerals were subject to reductive diagenesis leading to significant decline of magnetic mineral content and the proportion of low-coercivity component. More importantly, ferrimagnetic iron sulphide (greigite) is found in Unit A2 but absent in Unit Al, suggesting the control of marine environmental conditions on the magnetic mineral diagenesis. Magnetic parameters show abrupt changes across the boundary between the Unit Al and A2, which reflects a co-effect of environmental conditions and primary magnetic components of the sediments on the diagenesis. Alternating zones of high and low magnetic parameters are observed in Unit A2 of Core YSDP103, which is presumably due to periodic changes of the concentration and/or grain size of magnetic minerals carried into the study area. Cores SSDP-102 and SSDP-103, two studied sediment cores from the Korea Strait contain mud sequences (14 m and 32.62 m in thickness) that were deposited during the last 6,000 years. Analyses of grain sizes and geochemistry of the cores have demonstrated that the sediments have uniform lithology and geochemical properties, however, marked down-core changes in magnetic properties suggest that diagenesis has significantly impacted the magnetic properties. An expanded view of early diagenetic reactions that affect magnetic mineral assemblages is evident in these rapidly deposited continental shelf sediments compared to deep-sea sediments. The studied sediments can be divided into four descending intervals, based on magnetic property variations. Interval 1 is least affected by diagenesis and has the highest concentrations of detrital magnetite and hematite, and the lowest solid-phase sulfur contents. Interval 2 is characterized by the presence of paramagnetic pyrite and sharply decreasing magnetite and hematite concentrations, which suggest active reductive dissolution of detrital magnetic minerals, the absolute minimum abundance of magnetite is reached at the end of this interval. Interval 3 is marked by a progressive loss of hematite with depth, and at the base of this interval, 82% to 88% of the hematite component was depleted and the bulk magnetic mineral concentration was reduced to the lowest value in the entire studied mud section. Interval 4 has an increasing down-core enhancement of authigenic greigite, which is interpreted to have formed due to arrested pyritization resulting from consumption of pore water sulfate with depth. This is the first clear demonstration from an active depositional environment for a delay of thousands of years for acquisition of a magnetization carried by greigite. This detailed view of diagenetic processes in continental shelf sediments suggests that studies of geomagnetic field behavior from such sediments should be conducted with care. Paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic studies based on the magnetic properties of shelf sediments with high sedimentation rates like those in the Korea Strait are also unlikely to provide a meaningful signature associated with syn-depositional environmental processes. The rock magnetic properties of the surface sediments from the fine-grained depositional area on the outer shelf of the East China Sea, an area surrounded by sands, are investigated with a view to providing information on the sediment provenance. Multiple magnetic parameters such as magnetic susceptibility (%), anhysteretic remanent magnetization (ARM), saturation rernanent magnetization (SIRM), coercivities of SIRM (Her), and S ratios (relative abundance of low-coercivity magnetic minerals) are measured for all 179 surface samples, and partial representative samples are examined for their magnetic hysteresis parameters, temperature-dependence of magnetic susceptibility and x-ray diffraction spectra. Our research indicates that the magnetic mineralogy is dominated by magnetite with a small amount of hematite and is primarily of pseudo-single domain (PSD) to multidomain (MD) nature with a detrital origin. In the surface sediments, the granulometry of magnetic fractions is basically independent of grain sizes of the sediment containing the magnetic grains, and the composition of magnetic minerals remains almost homogeneous, that is, with a relatively constant ratio of low to high coercivity fraction throughout the area. The magnetic concentration in the study area generally decreases to the east or southeast accompanied by magnetic-particle fining to the east or to the northeast. The geographic pattern of magnetic properties is most reasonably explained by a major source of sediment jointly from the erosion of the old Huanghe River deposit and the discharge of the Changjiang River. The rock magnetic data facilitate understanding of the transport mechanism of fine-grained sediments in the outer shelf of the East China Sea.

Um estudo de novos paradigmas na realização de projetos de instalação elétrica residencial (automação)

Through awareness of new trends of consumption of the population with regard to housing, comfort, entertainment, security and sustainability, it was crafted a work that set out to study and develop the concept of home automation and how it will revolutionize the electrical installation projects and energy savings. A pre-wiring project, taking into account, basically, the installed load, is presented as a basis for comparison. The protocols for communication between intelligent devices in an automation environment, used in the work, are the X-10, LonWorks and UPnP. The home network is studied and divided into subsystems, for a better understanding, which are the lighting, audio, video and multimedia system, security, air conditioning and central vacuum system, and the idea of integrated design and system integrator is introduced, showing the change necessity in the design philosophy of electrical installations. The main means of energy savings in an automated home, such as dimerization, master off and smart meters are presented and, finally, it was concluded that there is a need to structure electrical installation projects more comprehensive with regard to home automation, in order to become more efficient and useful to users

Desarrollo de un entorno inteligente en el contexto del hogar digital

A lo largo de las últimas décadas el desarrollo de la tecnología en muy distintas áreas ha sido vertiginoso. Su propagación a todos los aspectos de nuestro día a día parece casi inevitable y la electrónica de consumo ha invadido nuestros hogares. No obstante, parece que la domótica no ha alcanzado el grado de integración que cabía esperar hace apenas una década. Es cierto que los dispositivos autónomos y con un cierto grado de inteligencia están abriéndose paso de manera independiente, pero el hogar digital, como sistema capaz de abarcar y automatizar grandes conjuntos de elementos de una vivienda (gestión energética, seguridad, bienestar, etc.) no ha conseguido extenderse al hogar medio. Esta falta de integración no se debe a la ausencia de tecnología, ni mucho menos, y numerosos son los estudios y proyectos surgidos en esta dirección. Sin embargo, no ha sido hasta hace unos pocos años que las instituciones y grandes compañías han comenzado a prestar verdadero interés en este campo. Parece que estamos a punto de experimentar un nuevo cambio en nuestra forma de vida, concretamente en la manera en la que interactuamos con nuestro hogar y las comodidades e información que este nos puede proporcionar. En esa corriente se desarrolla este Proyecto Fin de Grado, con el objetivo de aportar un nuevo enfoque a la manera de integrar los diferentes dispositivos del hogar digital con la inteligencia artificial y, lo que es más importante, al modo en el que el usuario interactúa con su vivienda. Más concretamente, se pretende desarrollar un sistema capaz de tomar decisiones acordes al contexto y a las preferencias del usuario. A través de la utilización de diferentes tecnologías se dotará al hogar digital de cierta autonomía a la hora de decidir qué acciones debe llevar a cabo sobre los dispositivos que contiene, todo ello mediante la interpretación de órdenes procedentes del usuario (expresadas de manera coloquial) y el estudio del contexto que envuelve al instante de ejecución. Para la interacción entre el usuario y el hogar digital se desarrollará una aplicación móvil mediante la cual podrá expresar (de manera conversacional) las órdenes que quiera dar al sistema, el cual intervendrá en la conversación y llevará a cabo las acciones oportunas. Para todo ello, el sistema hará principalmente uso de ontologías, análisis semántico, redes bayesianas, UPnP y Android. Se combinará información procedente del usuario, de los sensores y de fuentes externas para determinar, a través de las citadas tecnologías, cuál es la operación que debe realizarse para satisfacer las necesidades del usuario. En definitiva, el objetivo final de este proyecto es diseñar e implementar un sistema innovador que se salga de la corriente actual de interacción mediante botones, menús y formularios a los que estamos tan acostumbrados, y que permita al usuario, en cierto modo, hablar con su vivienda y expresarle sus necesidades, haciendo a la tecnología un poco más transparente y cercana y aproximándonos un poco más a ese concepto de hogar inteligente que imaginábamos a finales del siglo XX. ABSTRACT. Over the last decades the development of technology in very different areas has happened incredibly fast. Its propagation to all aspects of our daily activities seems to be inevitable and the electronic devices have invaded our homes. Nevertheless, home automation has not reached the integration point that it was supposed to just a few decades ago. It is true that some autonomic and relatively intelligent devices are emerging, but the digital home as a system able to control a large set of elements from a house (energy management, security, welfare, etc.) is not present yet in the average home. That lack of integration is not due to the absence of technology and, in fact, there are a lot of investigations and projects focused on this field. However, the institutions and big companies have not shown enough interest in home automation until just a few years ago. It seems that, finally, we are about to experiment another change in our lifestyle and how we interact with our home and the information and facilities it can provide. This Final Degree Project is developed as part of this trend, with the goal of providing a new approach to the way the system could integrate the home devices with the artificial intelligence and, mainly, to the way the user interacts with his house. More specifically, this project aims to develop a system able to make decisions, taking into account the context and the user preferences. Through the use of several technologies and approaches, the system will be able to decide which actions it should perform based on the order interpretation (expressed colloquially) and the context analysis. A mobile application will be developed to enable the user-home interaction. The user will be able to express his orders colloquially though out a conversational mode, and the system will also participate in the conversation, performing the required actions. For providing all this features, the system will mainly use ontologies, semantic analysis, Bayesian networks, UPnP and Android. Information from the user, the sensors and external sources will be combined to determine, through the use of these technologies, which is the operation that the system should perform to meet the needs of the user. In short, the final goal of this project is to design and implement an innovative system, away from the current trend of buttons, menus and forms. In a way, the user will be able to talk to his home and express his needs, experiencing a technology closer to the people and getting a little closer to that concept of digital home that we imagined in the late twentieth century.
