Knowledge Representation Methods for Smart Devices in Intelligent Buildings.
Giuseppe Loseto, Michèle Ruta · 2012
Home and building automation aims at improving features and capabilities of household systems and appliances. Nevertheless, current solutions poorly support dynamic scenarios and context-awareness. The integration of knowledge representation features and reasoning techniques (originally devised for the Semantic Web) into standard home automation protocols can offer high-level services to users. A semantic-based approach is proposed, able to interface users and devices (whose characteristics are expressed by means of annotated profiles) within a service-oriented home infrastructure.
