In this paper, an Information Appliance Control Platform (IACP) is presented. In
this platform, users monitor control appliances through a network-connected mobile device
at home, even on the Internet. This platform is effectively built by the technologies
of agent, embedded system, networking, database and serial communication. Three subsystems
developed in this platform are User Interface Subsystem (UIS), Gateway subsystem
(GS) and Information Appliance Network Subsystem (IANS). To efficiently set
up an effective software process, a CMMI-style process management and a CVS (Concurrent
Version System) are adopted to support the software process. Based on the flow
of requirement analysis, specification definition, design, implementation, integration,
validation, and verification, team members can transparently co-work in each stage. The
results indicate that only the control components can support a new digital living style,
but also such a develop paradigm demonstrates a successful software process and improve
the efficiency and effectiveness.
