Infraestructura para servicios e interfaces sensibles a la localicación en hogares inteligentes

Abstract

Some not widespread environments like sophisticated vehicles, adjust controlled elements, like the seat and the rearview, in order to match the preferences of their users. In this context computer systems are fully capable of providing customized interfaces for users. However, this kind of service customization has not yet reached the home environment. Inside real home environments, we can find new services based on automatizing traditional ones, which make our lives easier and more comfortable. However, this services are provided independently, the degree of personalization is still very low, and the results are insufficient. The smart home must release the user from performing routine and tedious tasks to achieve comfort, security, and effective energy management. To achieve this goal, designed systems must use all posible components at home, providing a high quality service. In this paper we extend our previous work on using multiagent systems to build a smart home environment. We describe its funcionality and introduce a new ontology in order to make easy agent communication and knowledge sharing.
