%T Location-aware services and interfaces in smart homes using multiagent systems

%X Computer systems are fully capable of providing
customized interfaces for users. Every time we log on to an ecommerce
website we have used before, the interface changes
in order to fit our most probable interests. Some sophisticated
vehicles adjust the seat position, rearview mirror orientation and
other parameters to match the preferences of the drivers when
they enter the car -provided that they belong to the set of known
drivers-. However, this kind of service customization has not yet
reached the home environment. In the same way as computer
systems with productivity, the smart home must prevent the user
from performing routine and tedious tasks to achieve comfort,
security, and effective energy management. In this paper we
propose an architecture for building a smart home environment
using multiagent systems, and we demonstrate its effectivenes
with an application example where multimedia contents follow
the user movements throughout the house.
