Abstract:
Systems for home automation can make a vital contribution to the wellbeing of individuals requiring moderate amounts of support for day-to-day living.
Existing systems suffer both from competing and often closed standards bases and from a message-based architecture that can complicate the development of flexible applications requiring information from disparate sources. We describe a
knowledge-based pervasive computing middleware and show how it can be used
to provide semantically rich unification over a range of home- and web-based automation systems.

Dobson, Simon; Stevenson, Graeme; Knox, Stephen; Nixon, Paddy (Association for Computing Machinery, 2009)Pervasive systems present the need to interpret large quantities of data from many sources. Context models support developers working with such data by providing a shared representation of the environment on which to base ...

Dobson, Simon; Nixon, Paddy; Coyle, Lorcan (IEEE Computer Software Society, 2007)Event-based systems are a popular substrate for distributing information derived from sensors to be used in driving adaptive behaviour. This paper argues that using events directly provides a poor model of context, and ...
