“…A fully working prototype has been implemented and evaluated with respect to the efficiency of the composition layer, but also the acceptability and effectiveness from the side of endusers from diverse backgrounds, namely a group of elderly and disabled people, and a group of younger technologically experienced users. The manuscript extends the results presented at ICSOC'10 [ Kaldeli et al 2010] and contains evaluation of the software presented at the demonstration sessions of ICSOC 2009 and 2010 Warriach et al 2010]. The formal methods and AI techniques used in the approach and overviewed herein have been published in AI-related conferences [Kaldeli et al 2009;2011].…”

“…The major focus of the technical evaluation is on the composition component which, given the necessity to work on large search spaces, may raise concerns of inefficiency. The evaluation is an extension of the preliminary one presented in Kaldeli et al [2010], and is based on the scenario described in the Introduction and detailed in Section 3. The tests have been run on a 1.83 Ghz computer running debian lenny, 32 bit and Java 1.6.0 12.…”

Domotics, concerned with the realization of intelligent home environments, is a novel field which can highly benefit from solutions inspired by service-oriented principles to enhance the convenience and security of modern home residents. In this work, we present an architecture for a smart home, starting from the lower device interconnectivity level up to the higher application layers that undertake the load of complex functionalities and provide a number of services to end-users. We claim that in order for smart homes to exhibit a genuinely intelligent behavior, the ability to compute compositions of individual devices automatically and dynamically is paramount. To this end, we incorporate into the architecture a composition component that employs artificial intelligence domain-independent planning to generate compositions at runtime, in a constantly evolving environment. We have implemented a fully working prototype that realizes such an architecture, and have evaluated it both in terms of performance as well as from the end-user point of view. The results of the evaluation show that the service-oriented architectural design and the support for dynamic compositions is quite efficient from the technical point of view, and that the system succeeds in satisfying the expectations and objectives of the users.

“…Domain and goal modeling through constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is developed to create a language that allows users to express goals without having to know about the details and interdependencies between services [14][15][16]. Its domain representation is of similar concept with the multi-valued planning task (MPT) encoding [17].…”

The problem of demographic shifts towards the elderly is deteriorating, as the relative number of caregivers is insufficient to provide the support required for their wellbeing, which is further aggravated by the increasingly hectic lifestyle. Service robot is getting more prominent as a possible solution. Robot manipulation and mobility is an important field, but they also require high level planning for these minute actions in order to provide ample support. Automatic service composition, contributed significantly by web services, offers the necessary technology for the task. Robot planning problem can be solved by representing it as constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) due to it being able to support loose binding of services and variables of wider domain. This paper further extends the structure of the CSP planner to enable intelligent decision-making. Besides, standardization is made on the properties and relationships of objects such that planning rules can be easily generated from knowledge base. Services and their corresponding terms are designed for efficient planning. Case studies show that the system is able to perform tasks bounded by complex logical rules. It also provides valuable insights into future enhancements and research.

“…The central composition layer is further abstracted into five major components [10]. The context awareness module is responsible for the collection of the sensed information from the home, and the maintenance of a representation of the user context in the home, by reading information directly from the pervasive layer [4].…”

Abstract-A home is smart when, being aware of its own state and that of its users, is capable of controlling itself in order to support the user wishes and thus improving their quality of life. This holds both for users with special needs and for those with ordinary domestic needs. In this paper, we overview the Smart Homes for All project which represents the current state of the art with respect to software control and user interfaces in the smart homes arena.
