The world is moving towards automation and autonomous systems, in which devices are expected to be seamlessly integrated and complex, which act on our behalf and deliver better quality services anywhere anytime and in any fashion. However most of the Electrical Power Supply Companies across the world still use the good old traditional approaches for home related services pose big challenges for home automation. Author proposes a novel computing model to achieve an autonomous environment for home automation. A model is based on agent technology in which agents are assigned certain tasks to achieve. The architecture is portable, flexible and can easily integrated with other architectures.

The advances in computing technologies have resulted in an explosive growth in computing systems called Ubiquitous Computing Systems [Ubicomp] and also the applications that impact all aspects of our life. Everyday objects communicate with each other and also with the Internet objects available today. People have an increasing desire for such ubiquitous access to information, anywhere, anyplace, and anytime. As ubicomp occurs everywhere, there may be a very large number of objects interacting with each other simultaneously in future. This necessitates the question of how to uniquely provide identity to infinitely growing objects and standard towards the uniformity of the data being exchanged by the various objects. In this paper, author proposes the way of providing uniqueness in scalable object identity, object categorization and standard format for the data being exchanged by various ubicomp compliant objects..
