Current progresses in home automation and service robotic environment have highlighted the need to develop interoperability mechanisms that allow a standard communication between the two systems. During the development of the DHCompliant protocol, the problem of locating mobile devices in an indoor environment has been investigated. The communication of the device with the location service has been carried out to study the time delay that web services offer in front of the sockets. The importance of obtaining data from real-time location systems portends that a basic tool for interoperability, such as web services, can be ineffective in this scenario because of the delays added in the invocation of services. This paper is focused on introducing a web service to resolve a coordinates request without any significant delay in comparison with the sockets.

The objective of the SHE Project is to develop a solution for the Digital Home users allowing a progressive reduction in the electrical consumption in the home as well as encouraging a more appropriate and rational use of electric energy. With this objective, a platform for energetic management will be designed and developed. It will offer a cloud service which shelters the information for a progress data center and which establishment do not require concrete services, it will be automatic in order to provide a easier handling to the user. The assessment for its use is intended to be performed through a friendly environment, e.g. mobile applications and recommendation systems which suggest the user about the utilization of electrical resources in home, based on the previous analysis of the users' habits.
