Progress in Machines and Systems Farhang Padidaran Moghaddam, Riza Sulaiman 2 2 2013 http://www.dline.info/pms/fulltext/v2n2/2.pdf In smart spaces, crisis management is a challenging problem for inhabitant safety and security. In some critical events, standalone home management system is not enough efficient for handling the anomalies like out-of-control fire. The rise of REST architectural style as a lightweight and simple interaction model has motivated us to study the feasibility of emerging REST principles to design and integrate commonwealth smart homes to create a cooperative environment. In this paper, we introduce the state-of-the-art in applying REST concepts to develop Web services for creating synergistic smart space platform. Our study proposes a crisis coordinating framework which enables efficient emergency management in ubiquitous intelligent environments using REST architectural style.
