A Smart Home Architecture Based on Concept Ontology

Abstract:

The idea of smart home has been proposed for many years. However, the heterogeneity of device and data restricts the spread of it. Otherwise, the lack of underlying formal semantics between devices impedes the reusing and sharing classification across systems. We present a concept ontology in smart home which can capture the features of domain knowledge. A system architecture of smart home based on the concept ontology is constructed.
