The ModuleC network architecture: a novel paradigm of computing through information appliances
This paper presents the ModuleC network architecture for information appliances (e.g., televisions, stereos, and VCRs). ModuleC reverses the PCMCIA (PC card) paradigm and places the computing and networking platform on a small form factor card that externally connects to peripherals and appliances. ModuleC-equipped information appliances provide the ability to move information both within the home, e.g., between different appliances, and between the home and the outside world. This connectivity not only provides a means for exchanging application-specific information-it also provides a vehicle for replacing and upgrading the appliance software. Essentially, this platform is a footing part way between the PC ($1000-$2000) and the embedded computer ($1-S10); in particular, it brings to the embedded environment the network access and dynamic programmability features of the PC.
