Abstract

To connect appliances directly to each other and to let them cooperate with each other, a standard architecture for appliance networking is indispensable. Appliances with networking capabilities are called networked appliances. A networked appliance architecture called AMIDEN is being developed to realize networked appliances. AMIDEN is a peer-to-peer architecture that enables appliance networking and direct appliance interworking without a network server such as a PC. Using AMIDEN a digital still camera and a printer can form a network and cooperate with each other. The design philosophy and architecture of AMIDEN are discussed in detail
