  1. for Home Automaton System Design

  2. Design Goals • Performance Criteria • Server prioritizes client requests to provide quick response time to critical requests. • E.g. Device state changes supersede image transfers. • Client is multi-threaded to allow simultaneous server communication and user interaction. Server is a single-threaded state machine. • One zone will be held in memory at any given time to limit memory consumption.

  3. Design Goals • Dependability Criteria • Errors in server connection will be reported to the user. • Requests are given an encrypted identifier. Server reports success or failure to client with identifier. • Out-of-order transmissions generate errors and the connection is terminated to handle packet spoofing.

  4. Design Goals • Cost Criteria • Open-source; free for all. Yee-Ha! • Maintenance/Extendability Criteria • Extendable to multiple device types. • Server will be able to communicate with a client on any platform. • End User Criteria • Easy point-and-click user interface.

  5. System Decomposition

  6. Hardware/Software Mapping • Client • C#, Open GL • Server • C++ • Protocol • TCP/IP Sockets

  7. Persistent Data Management • Zones will be stored in data files managed by data structures. • Users will be stored in a data file on the server • Server configuration will also be stored in a data file

  8. Access Control • There are two types of users: Administrator and Occupant. • Administrator has full access to all features of the client and server. • Occupant has access only to change device states. • Both user types are authenticated with a username and password.

  9. Software Control • The server will operate on a procedure-driven state machine with a single-threaded loop handling all input/output and device control operations. • The client will operate on an event-driven model with multiple threads (GUI & Network)

  10. Boundary Conditions • Establish Server Connection • User is authenticated. All devices (real and virtual) and the image file for the root zone are downloaded to the client • Disconnect From Server • Server request queue is flushed and executed, while errors are reported to the client.

  11. Boundary Conditions • Connection Unexpectedly Terminated • Server processes all requests in its queue and stores errors in a log file. • Client reports an error to the user and offers to reconnect. Upon reconnection, Client will be updated with the current devices states.
