Handheld devices as actors in domotic monitoring system

This paper describes the first stage of a prototype that is being developed using a personal digital assistant (PDA) and Bluetooth communication to build an information system to supervise automated robotic maintenance systems. This work is being done under collaboration between different university departments with different specialties. The work focuses on the programming of PDA devices and its usage in monitoring systems with domotic applicability. One of the desired goals is to apply new technologies for deploying an information system on mobile and wireless devices. The first results, system architecture and main blocks are presented in this paper
