Abstract

To develop a market for low-cost Smart Homes reuse of ready-made software components is an essential requirement to reduce the development costs of such systems. Users will run services from a variety of different software producers, which will lead to a heterogeneous service environment. Therefore one of the major challenges is to guarantee interoperability among inconsistent service interfaces. In this paper we present an ontology-based approach to semantic service annotation, which we use for service matching and dynamic generation of service adapters.
