Smart-M3-based smart space creation using a DD-WRT-based device

Smart space is a service orientated infrastructure for knowledge sharing between devices. This paper describes a smart space creation process based on integration of Smart-M3 platform with DD-WRT-based device. Smart-M3 is an open source platform which implements the concept of smart space. Wi-Fi router was chosen as a DD-WRT-based device, which allows using it for smart space organization and provides wireless connection between devices at the same time. This method simplifies deployment of scenarios with several participants. The paper describes a process of compilation and installation of Smart-M3 platform to DD-WRT operating system. Testing of the main Smart-M3 operations showed that a smart space, organized in this way, can be used for considered scenarios. The authors have developed “Smart-M3 Control Panel” web-service which allows users to control the Smart-M3 platform by a graphical web interface. User of “Smart-M3 Control Panel” can view a current status of the platform; launch, stop or reload the platform; view information storage; download log files and change startup options. SocketIO protocol was used for user interaction with a web service.
