2nd Year PhD Report -- Faisal Razzak

Web of Domotics. Semantic Energy Information

Publishing Framework Effects Based Approach in

Smart Homes.


Combination of concepts from following domains: – Domotics. – Internet of Things.

Enables mobile users to access (in a standard, semantic powered linked data format) and to control devices in a ubiquitous manner, without any a priori knowledge of device controllers from any network or location.

.


1. Domotic Device Identification

2. Domotic Device Control

3. Access to Controller

4. Universal Authentication


• A mobile phone equipped with a camera and an enabled Internet connection.

• Every device has a unique identifier.

• The Identifier can be encoded using RFID, visual tags, NFC etc.

• There exists a reference DNS domain assigned to all identifiers. For example, viztag.com.

1. The mobile application takes a snap shot of the visual tag associated to the device and located nearby.


2. The mobile application decodes the visual tag to extract the UAID of the device.

3. After getting the UAID, the mobile application determines the URL of the correct Controller through a DNS query on a special domain.

4. The mobile application contacts the Controller and sends the user’s identity credentials .

5. The Controller forwards the authentication credentials to an external authentication service.

6. The authentication service informs the Controller about the validity of the user credentials.

• The Controller exposes device information through RDF or RDFa.

• The user can request pure RDF description of a device or RDFa (XHTML) as a response user interface.

• Devices are described by reporting semantics-rich information including their name, type, functionalities, current location and by showing current state and available operations.

Provide ability to expose energy consumption information from the residential gateways in a machine understandable format, to achieve intelligent negotiation and consumption coordination.


Energy Consumption Information Machine understandable format.


Based on Modular approach. It describes the Power consumed

by different appliances in different states.

Two basic concepts: – DeviceProfile – Consumption


Simplified RDF RDF with Ontological

information.


Implementation. A Journal article submitted.

– Enabling Machine Understandable Exchange of Energy Consumption Information in Intelligent Domotic Environments.

– Energy and Buildings - ELSEVIER– Submitted on 16/11/2010.


An abstract modeling approach to control devices in smart homes. The approach is called ``Effect Based Approach in Smart Homes''.

Modeling Evaluation Solution Optimization


Implementation phase. Currently writing an article.


• Extending Effect based approach in Smart Homes.

• Exploring Intelligent system techniques.

• Entertainment Aspects of Smart Homes.
