Abstract
The central goal of home information systems, and home automation in general, is to provide convenient and efficient integration and interoperation among appliances in a household. The necessary software tools need to present a comfortable user interface for end-users that allows one to control and maintain the system on several levels of expertise. One major aspect is the configuration of the home system according to the user's needs and preferences. We present the architecture of an adaptable, expandable, network technology independent configuration tool for a home system called HomeNet Configuration Tool (HCT).
