Context-aware personalization services for a residential gateway based on the OSGi platform

Abstract:

Ideally, smart homes should make its inhabitants' lives more comfortable by anticipating their needs and satisfying their preferences. With this aim, we introduce an approach for context-aware personalized smart homes based on two main pillars: the Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi) platform and the Semantic Web philosophy. By combining both fields, we enrich the OSGi service-oriented architecture by providing a semantical conceptualization of (i) services at home, (ii) contextual information and (iii) inhabitants' preferences. This ontological structure supports reasoning about the captured behavior and inferring new knowledge. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
