Abstract
XML technologies have been recently extensively used in IP based network management, where they have been proven capable of alleviating the SNMP shortcomings in configuration management. Our XMLNET system described in [1] has demonstrated that XML systems can greatly facilitate the development of network management applications even in complex heterogeneous multi-vendor networks. In this paper, we present extensions to the XMLNET architecture, with a view to managing not only network devices, but also middleware and hardware resources used in the scope of ubiquitous computing. Ubiquitous computing services are supported by a highly distributed and heterogeneous infrastructures comprising a wide range of sensors (e.g., cameras, microphones, motion sensors, temperature sensor), a well as middleware components (e.g., recognition algorithms, perceptual components). The introduced extensions to XMLNET for ubiquitous computing environments, aim at lever-aging the merits of XMLNET for the inherently complex configuration management operations entailed in pervasive and ubiquitous computing applications.
