Service Management Architecture in the ePerSpace Platform

Inhalt:
The main objective of the ePerSpace project is to develop and implement networked audiovisual systems and applications accessible at home and anywhere. The project is creating an open, interoperable and trusted integration framework to create network enabled audiovisual systems and home platforms where home and personal devices can seamlessly work together exchanging personalisation data, performing content and service, and managing service platforms. The paper presents the Global Service Manager (GSeM), which handles service providers, users and residential gateways, and Local Service Manager (LSeM), which manages home and personal devices inside the Home Area Network (HAN), and communication between GSeM and LSeM. The paper also gives an overview of services run on the EPS platform.
