An Object-based Virtual Network in Unbiquitous Computing Environment

This paper proposes a novel object-based virtual network middleware for supporting the interoperability among home devices and smart grid devices. In order to demonstrate that home devices and smart grid devices are interoperable through the proposed middleware, we implement applications based on the OVNet on a target platform consisting of embedded boards, sensors and laptops for emulation purposes of a home network.
