A proposal of a smart home platform for better home entertainment experience

Al-Ashraf, Samir Daniel, Bhatti, Zeeshan Hussain January 2011 (has links)
Smart home is a topic that emerged in the 90s to improve the quality of human life. The evolutions of ambient intelligence, recent technology advancements, internet, and smart devices have had a large impact in smart home environment. In the traditional smart home environment, devices are connected physically in the environment and there are interoperability issues between the devices, because the environment is heterogeneous and the devices do not allow to communicate with the outside world such as the internet.In this master thesis we propose a conceptual design of a platform for better home entertainment experience. Smart phone, smart TV and a personal computer are the most important devices in this platform design. The platform provides a high degree of interaction and integration among devices within the environment. The proposed platform model helps software architects and engineers to have an early involvement in the design process. We proposed the platform to be implemented with the help of hybrid cloud computing model. Our suggested platform design is able to overcome the deficiencies of the previous models and approaches in this domain. We conducted direct interviews with seven computer science teachers at Malmö University for the evaluation of our platform design. The results show that the platform design can be physically implemented with the specified devices, the clouds are better than the traditional approaches and hybrid cloud model is more acceptable in terms of security and economy. We encourage software architects, developers and project supervisors to adopt this proposed platform model in physical smart home environment.

Nomadic Places Cultures and Literatures in Movement ‘Hybrid-Performative-Diasporas’ in ‘Ibero-American-Maghrebian-Moroccan’ Literature and Culture: the Case of Najat El Hachmi

Toro, Alfonso de 15 June 2022 (has links)
This article put the focus in a very new field of research, that of the Hispanic-Moroccan Literature and Culture, which is interpreted as a special, complex and highly interesting case for Nomadic Places of Cultures and Literatures in the frame of ‘Performative-Hybrid Diaspora’. In the first part offers the article an extensive bibliography of novels, essay and literary and cultural criticism; the second part is exposing the theory of ‘performative-hybrid Diaspora’; and in the last part focuses on some the works of El Hachmi. The article provides “foundational concepts” and introduces new concept of integration, identity and co-habitation, understood as new, ‘performative-hybrid diaspora’ and ‘performative-hybrid identities,’ based on ‘situational disposi-tive’ such as ‘situational imperatives.’ It describes and explains a practice of hospitality and belonging in which the concept ‘emotion’ is at the center of his socio-political endeavors, exemplified by a novel and an essay by the Catalan author, El Hachmi, who originates from Morocco. The analysis leads to the concept of ‘Hispano-Maghreb/Moroccan’ literature and culture, and following an introduction to the current primary research body and studies in this area, he introduces a set of criteria for the scholarly treatment of this new field of research. / Dieser Artikel legt den Fokus auf ein sehr neues Forschungsgebiet, nämlich auf die der spanisch-marokkanischen-Literatur und Kultur, die als einen speziellen, komplexen und hochinteressanten Fall für nomadische Orte von Kulturen und Literaturen im Rahmen der ‚performativ-hybriden Diaspora‘ interpretiert wird. Im ersten Teil bietet der Artikel eine umfangreiche Bibliographie von Romanen, Essays und Literatur- und Kulturkritiken; im zweiten Teil wird die Theorie der ‚performativ-hybriden Diaspora‘ dargelegt; und im letzten Teil konzentriert sich der Artikel auf einige Werke von El Hachmi. Der Beitrag liefert ‚prinzipielle Konzepte‘ und führt ein neues Konzept von Integration, Identität und Zusammenleben ein, das als neue ‚performativ-hybride Diaspora‘ und ‚performativ-hybride Identitäten‘ verstanden wird und auf ‚situativen Dispositiven‘ wie ‚situativen Imperativen‘ basiert. Es wird eine Praxis der Gastfreundschaft und Zugehörigkeit beschrieben und erläutert, in denen das Konzept ‚Emotion‘ im Mittelpunkt soziopolitischer Bemühungen steht, exemplifiziert durch einen Roman und ein Essay der aus Marokko stammenden katalanischen Autorin, El Hachmi. Die Analyse führt zum Begriff der ‚hispano-maghrebinischen/marokkanischen‘ Literatur und Kultur, und nach einer Einführung in die aktuelle Primärforschung und die Studien in diesem Bereich wird eine Reihe von Kriterien für die wissenschaftliche Behandlung dieses neuen Forschungsgebiets vorgestellt. / Este artículo pone el foco en un campo de investigación muy nuevo, aquél de la literatura y la cultura hispano-marroquí, que se interpreta como un caso especial, complejo y de gran interés para los lugares nómadas de las culturas y las literaturas en el marco de las ‘diásporas-performativas-híbridas’. En la primera parte, el artículo ofrece una amplia bibliografía de novelas, ensayos y crítica literaria y cultural; en la segunda parte se expone la teoría de las ‘diásporas-performativas-híbridas’; y en la última parte se centra en algunas de las obras de El Hachmi. El artículo proporciona ‘conceptos fundacionales’ e introduce un nuevo concepto de integración, identidad y convivencia, entendidos como una nueva ‘diáspora performativa-híbrida’ e ‘identidades performativas-híbridas’, basadas en ‘dispositivos situacionales’ como ‘imperativos situacionales’. Describe y explica una práctica de hospitalidad y pertenencia en la que el concepto ‘emoción’ está en el centro de sus esfuerzos socio-políticos, exemplificados por una novela y un ensayo de la autora catalana, El Hachmi, originaria de Marruecos. El análisis desemboca en el concepto de literatura y cultura ‘hispano-magrebí/marroquí’ y, tras una introducción al conjunto de investi-gaciones y estudios primarios actuales en este ámbito, se introduce un conjunto de criterios para el tratamiento académico de este nuevo campo de investigación.
