Abstract

In this paper, a finite-state machine based distributed framework DATA used for development of intelligent ambience systems is presented. Event-based distributed framework DATA enables development of efficient, clear and flexible operation over several electronic devices, mobile platforms and mobile units that can be part of complex intelligent ambience. Framework DATA enables developers to specify, describe and implement several behaviours of the intelligent ambience and individual modules in a fast and flexible way. Adding new users, intelligent ambience system's modules, mobile platforms, mobile units and electronic devices, can be performed without intervention into the code. Distributed framework DATA supports data flow between individual system's modules that is easily understandable to the users. Framework DATA is java-based and supports several configuration possibilities (regarding behaviour and architecture), distributive operation for more intensive tasks, and flexible communication mechanism between intelligent ambience system's modules. All these features are implemented by using finite-state machine formalism and XML markup language as will be presented in the paper.
