Abstract

Drawing requirements and models from reactive and real-time systems, we propose a self-configurable data mediation infrastructure for Smart Environments and the Internet of Things, showing how it can be used to effect discrete control in smart home environments by mediating and adapting generic rules through finite-state-machine models drawn from a domain ontology, representing observable & controllable “things” and space entities in this infrastructure.
