Abstract
eHome systems are essentially component-based systems. One of the main reasons preventing a wide application of eHome systems in practice is the effort needed to interconnect all appliances, necessary controller and infrastructure components to benefit from derived value-added services. In the area of software engineering, this problem is addressed by configuration management and software deployment. In this paper, we introduce a language, which forms a basis for describing coarse-grained and abstract scenario defaults up to complete deployment information to carry out the actual installation in an eHome. We present a tool supporting the automatic transformation of an abstract input document into a complete deployment document adapted to a specific eHome environment. The tool is based on the description language.
