Abstract

The emergence of HTML5 allows more complex applications to be run in browsers. However, these applications need not run inside the browser only. In our previous work we have shown that it is feasible to implement mobile agents with Web technologies, such as HTML5 and JavaScript. These mobile agents can be used to control systems like home automation. In this paper we show how this execution environment can be described as a Cloud Space that provides the users with a new type of multi-device experience to the content and the environment the users need to access and control. Furthermore, we present a new way to control and monitor the Cloud Space through a web application with a 3D UI based on direct manipulation.
