A　simple　and　clear　framework　for　a　local　Ambient　Intelligence　(Ami)　Space　application　system　is　very　important,　because　it　can　help　the　designers　develop　new　applications　in　Ami　Space,　even　will　help　the　users　configure　their　future　home　Ami　system.　In　this　paper,　first,　the　open　problems　in　the　Ami　research　field　are　discussed.　Then,　a　framework　of　a　typical　Ami　Space　application　system　is　presented,　including　the　local　Ami　Space　model,　Multi-agent　based　software　architecture　and　the　system　network　configuration.　Next,　based　on　the　above　framework,　a　prototype　system　Ami-Space　was　established.　After　that,　a　whole　appearance　of　our　Ami-Space　project　is　given,　and　the　services　provided　by　Ami-Space　are　introduced　briefly.　Finally,　future　works　of　Ami-Space　are　discussed.　Via　the　works　of　this　paper,　a　research　platform　is　established,　which　will　allow　experiments　on　other　local　Ami　Space　applications　using　this　platform　in　future　research.　©　2007　IEEE.
