Abstract

The paper presents the design and implementation of Ambient Service Interface (ASI) framework, which offers suitable level of flexibility and programmability to satisfy the requirements of Ambient Network applications. The direct access to ACS (Ambient Control Space) Functional Entities has been enabled by a hub-and-spoke server – ASB (ASI Switchboard), which supports required level of flexibility and programmability. The features of the proposed solution have been analyzed in context of Ambient Networks application. The Synapse-based Switchboard implementation is described. Next ASB activity scenario has been presented by simple case study, which concerns communication with context FE. The paper is ended with conclusions.
