Abstract: A system architecture for communication between devices connected through a network including a hierarchy. Each device has at least one service for controlling and/or monitoring the device. At least one communication module enables a first device service to detect a second device, to detect a second device service, to retrieve information about functions of the second device service, arrange with the first device services and second device services into the hierarchy, wherein one of the devices is the parent of the other, generate messages with at least one device and transmit the messages to another device, wherein the information about functions and messages are received only by devices that have a same parent as one of the devices and by the parent of the devices, and to invoke a function of the second device service, wherein the devices are interchangeable at least to detect, to retrieve information and to invoke.

Abstract: A method for communication between a plurality of devices connected to each other through a network. Each device includes at least one service that provides a set of functions for controlling and/or monitoring the device. A service of a first device detects the presence of a second device, detects the presence of a service of the second device, retrieves information about the functions of the service of the second device, and invokes a function of the service of the second device. A system architecture for communication between the devices includes a communication module configured to enable a service of a first device to detect the presence of a second device, to detect the presence of a service of the second device, to retrieve information about the functions of the service of the second device and to invoke a function of the service of the second device.

Abstract: A system including a number of intelligent devices connected to each other through a network. The devices are adapted for interacting with each other and automatically discovering new devices by sending and receiving messages over the network. Each intelligent device has a hardware and a software unit. The network includes a plurality of connections having different comminications protocols. The software unit includes a module for discovering a new connection between the devices, identifying the communication protocol of the new connection, and creating a channel adapted for sending and receiving messages between the devices over the determined communication protocol.

Abstract: A system comprising a number of intelligent devices connected to each other through a network (15), which devices are adapted for interacting with each other and automatically discovering new devices by sending and receiving messages over the network, each intelligent device having a hardware and a software unit (4a 4c). The network comprises a plurality of connections having different communication protocols and the software unit comprises means for discovering a new connection between the devices, identifying the communication protocol of the new connection, and creating a channel (9) adapted for sending and receiving messages between the devices over the determined communication protocol.
