Abstract

Smart living spaces provide autonomy and assistance to people with disabilities and elderly people in order to increase their independence. In this paper we present our approach to personalize a complex living environment for users with special needs. It provides an appropriate middleware for supporting assistive services in dynamic environments. It is built upon formalisms based on Description logic (DL) named Semantic Matching Framework (SMF) and designed on the matching of two models: an environment model, and a user model. SMF was implemented and integrated into a demonstrator, which is validated under laboratory conditions. Performance results are presented to highlight the time response of SMF.
