Abstract

The Smart Home is a house equipped with technology to assist especially the elderly and persons with special needs. Smart Homes rely on Service-Oriented technology usually OSGi. Web Services (WS) receives little emphasis on Smart Homes, but they can be very useful for some applications. That is the case of management of medication as this task can become very difficult and involve different, remote parties. Several solutions have been proposed for applications like medications management but their lack of interoperability limits them. This paper presents a solution that integrates current systems and provides interoperability by using WS. The secure transfer of sensitive data among subsystems is achieved by using secure WS for communication purposes as shown by our prototyped implementation.
