Development of Context-Aware Service Automation Technology for Implementing Smart Home Living Space

[[abstract]]有效結合資訊與通訊技術及其它技術建構智慧生活空間是近??相當熱門的主題。除?獲得政府相關部門的大?推動，學術界與產業界亦競相投入大?資源進?研發。欲真正?實智慧生活空間必須包含三個層面：一、情境感知資訊之擷取；二、自動化服務之產生；三、?質智慧生活空間裝置之整合與管?。情境感知包含環境?態資訊以及使用者?態資訊，而使用者?態資訊包含顯性之生?與?為資訊以及隱性之心?資訊(包含：意?、智慧、感情與認知)。自動化服務之產生係依據情境感知資訊與智慧生活空間裝置之?態，藉由探勘、推?與評估進而自動產生最符合使用者“需求(want)?與“需要(necessary)?之服務。而?質智慧生活空間裝置之整合與管?，則是能依據使用者所處的空間，自動推?出一組最佳之服務裝置以提供使用者最佳之服務品質。 有鑑於此，本計畫乃基於研究團隊過去在研發?位家庭科技（尤其是智慧型?位家庭服務網?）的成功經驗與?好基礎上，進一步針對智慧家庭生活空間，建構出情境感知之服務自動化系統。為?開發此一系統，本計畫將針對五個核心研究議題進?研究，提出完整的解決方案，並且開發雛型系統及示範應用；此五個核心研究議題分別為：情境資訊探勘與整合(Context Information Discovery and Composition) 、可信賴情境資訊管?與推?（Trustworthy Context Management and Reasoning）、使用者為中心之普及服務發現與合成（User-centric Ubiquitous Service Discovery and Composition）、服務導向資源分配與規劃（Service-oriented Resource Allocation and Scheduling）、以及情境感知服務驗證（Context-aware Service Validation & Emulation）技術。 上述核心研究議題在普及計算(pervasive computing)和情境感知計算(context-aware computing)?域已個別成為目前熱門的研究課題，深具學術研究價值。而整合性的解決方案在國際上仍甚少人觸及，但對發展智慧家庭生活空間的影響甚大。本計畫研究團隊希望且有信心能透過本計畫建構一個完整的情境感知自動化服務之軟體開發平台，以期在智慧生活空間的研究?域中能帶頭向前邁進。[[abstract]]Building smart home living space by integrating ICT and other technologies has been a hot research area. Therefore, government agencies, academy and industry all invest more and more resources in this area. There are three major issues to construct smart living space, including efficient acquisition of trustworthy context information, context-aware service automation, and management and coordination of equipments in the smart living space. The so-called context information includes environment type context information and user type context information. The latter further consists of physiological information and mental information. Service automation denotes the automatic supply of wanted and necessary services to users by evaluating and reasoning the context information. The coordination and management of service equipments in smart home living space denotes the optimal allocation of service equipments according to users’ location and service quality requirement from users. This project intends to develop a context-aware service automation platform and related technologies to support the construction of smart home living space. It is based on the achievements of digital home technology research by the executive team of this project in the past five years. To implement this platform, we must develop the solutions of five key technologies: context information discovery and composition, trustworthy context management and reasoning, user-centric ubiquitous service discovery and composition, service-oriented resource allocation and scheduling, context-aware service validation & emulation。 The key technologies mentioned above just become hot research topics in pervasive computing and context-aware computing now. Besides, integrated solutions have not yet been proposed in the world. However, to reach the goal of constructing smart home living space, it is a must. Based on rich experiences on the study of digital home technology, the research team of this project has high confidence to propose a complete and innovative solution and implement the desired context-aware service automation platform for smart home living space.[[note]]NSC97-2221-E006-144-MY

Development of Intelligent Cloud Broker Gateway Capable of Multi-Level Client Awareness as Well as Hierarchical Security and Service Quality Negotiation

[[abstract]]本為總計畫包含四項子計畫，提出一「具備多層次用戶情境感知、安全及服務品質協調能力之智慧型雲端服務仲介器」，其系統功能包含：針對一特定雲端用戶空間(行動用戶, 物聯網,或其混合型態)之各項服務需求做最佳之雲端服務仲介工作；可從不同層次感知用戶及用戶設施之資源現況及應用情境，做為服務仲介的考量依據之一，以落實user-centric 的精神；可依據多雲端平台的資源使用現況及目標服務的作業需求，進行雲與端間的服務仲介與QoS negotiation；有效統合用戶端、仲介器、雲端平台三方的資安策略，以達到最佳雲端服務接取安全保障；可針對特定雲端用戶空間之整體資源進行最佳之服務排程，使空間內的每個用戶或設備皆感受優質的服務品質。藉由展場應用情境，我們將展示以下關鍵性技術：第一、多層次用戶端感知技術，層次包含：分析裝置狀與能力以達到裝置情境感知(Device-context awareness)、分析用戶端之喜好、需求、位置、資料隱密敏感性而達到用戶情境感知(User-context awareness)、分析並偵測網路頻寬、起始服務延遲、網路可靠度、網路安全性以達成網路情境感知(Network-context awareness)；第二、智慧型雲間服務仲介技術，包含：基於多層次用戶端感知之服務推介、跨雲間跨層(cross-layer)且基於多重QoS 以及QoE 評量之服務探知(discovery)以及服務之合成、針對用戶服務要求之優化資源排程技術；第三、跨協定雲間資訊安全管理，包含：整合性資訊安全之協調與策略規劃、基於安全性之設備匹配、以及基於資料敏感性之壓縮等。系統實現上以展場應用為實例，將展區區分為多組展場管理單位(簡稱ADM)私有雲，每一私有雲對應一個仲介器閘道(broker gateway，簡稱broker)，此broker 不只將網域分割，更將資料分散儲存以利資源分割的優化，這些私有雲上組成一個更大的私有雲，因此這些 broker 藉由上層另一個broker 所管理，並因此能和公共雲溝通，最上層broker 從子brokers 資訊瞭解要從外部public cloud 要求哪些服務，形成階層式架構以利將整個網際網路的資源納入。開發時程上，第一年完成單一Broker 加上單一ADM 私有雲的展場應用。第二年完成多Brokers 結合多組ADM 私有雲。第三年實作階層式brokers 架構之外，將公共雲的資源以及服務納入展場應用，能根據情境動態的分析主動連接到私有雲以及公共雲提供最佳服務。本計畫展場應用的實現內含了前述眾多迫切急需的雲端計算技術開發，並藉由成大數位生活科技研究中心、永洋科技股份有限公司、等等單位的支援配合，將所開發技術應用在實質產品上，因此在學術研究、產業推動、以及人才培育上均有可預期的豐富成果。[[abstract]]This main project hosts four subprojects and proposes “Development of Intelligent Cloud Broker Gateway Capable of Multi-level Client Awareness as well as Hierarchical Security and Service Quality Negotiation.” The primary functions are: brokering optimal cloud services for certain client spaces (such as mobile phone user, Internet of Things, or hybrids), user-centric service brokering according to client context-awareness and client facility context-awareness in multiple levels, cloud service brokering with QoS negotiation according to multiple clouds’ resources status and target services’ operational requirements, effectively security policy coordinating clients, brokers, and cloud platforms, optimal service scheduling according to resource status of certain cloud user space such that users and facilities experience premium quality of service. Via application to the scenario of product exposition (such as the Consumer Electronics Show, CES), we demonstrate the following key technologies: first, multi-level client awareness including device-context awareness (device capability, discovery, availability, reliability), user-context awareness (preference, demand, location, privacy), and network-context awareness (bandwidth, latency, reliability, security); second, intelligent multi-cloud service brokering including service recommendation and brokering based on multi-level client awareness, QoS-based service discovery and composition over multi-clouds, optimal user space resource scheduling for client service requests; finally, cross-layer cloud security management comprising integrated security policy negotiation and planning, security facility matching, and data-sensitive encryption. The system implementation of product exposition includes multiple administration units’ private clouds (abbreviated ADM) which partition the whole expo into several areas. Each private cloud corresponds to a broker gateway (abbreviated broker). Thus the broker not only partitions the network domain but also distributes data access for purpose of optimal resource allocation and security. The private clouds form a bigger private cloud and beyond the brokers there is a higher level broker managing them such that they are able to communicate public clouds. The higher level broker aware service availability from internal brokers and convey services to users from private and public clouds. The project is scheduled to play in three years. In the first year, we are to accomplish single broker with single ADM private cloud. In the second year, we are to accomplish hierarchical multiple brokers system for multiple ADM clouds. In the third year, we will realize include public cloud resources and services into the expo application and then the system connect private and public clouds for conveying optimal service according to automatic context analysis. The realization of expo application comprises developments of emergent cloud computing technologies. Moreover, through support from the Center for Research of E-life DIgital Technology (CREDIT) and Advance Multimedia Internet Technology (AMIT) Corporation, we apply the developed technologies in consumer products. Therefore, no matter in academic research, industry promotion, or human education, the various and solid achievements are predicable.[[note]]NSC100-2218-E327-00
