Abstract
Cloud-based smart homes for ambient assisted living are emerging information and communication technology aiming to facilitate and improve users’ lives. The design of home sensing architecture and corresponding device gateway to connect different types of perceptual and automation devices with cloud services and applications is a challenging task. This paper presents a conceptual home sensing architecture and a modular device gateway design able to combine multiple sources and clients of perceptual and actuator devices providing the required interoperability, flexibility and extensibility for such applications. Furthermore, the paper presents a home sensing environment prototype, which adopts the proposed device gateway design. The proposed design and implementation can be used in a variety of smart-home applications.
