Proposal of a Context-Aware Smart Home Ecosystem

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 9120))

Abstract

Smart homes are more and more popular since they are regarded as synonyms of an ideal and friendly environment. Novel aspects like context awareness and pro-activity are fundamental requirements for development of such systems. Smart scenarios enable switching devices in a desired way when a certain user activity considered as a trigger involves a system activity. Some smart scenarios are proposed. Context modeling and reasoning for smart homes is widely considered. A software architecture including web services is introduced and discussed.
