Abstract

Technological innovations, varying from ubiquitous computing, intelligent appliances, telecommunication, robotics, to wearable sensors, enable new Smart Home (SH) applications. More and more academic publications reporting on experiments on SH can be found. A comprehensive clustering of concepts and approaches is largely missing. Based on an extensive review of SH literature, this paper proposes a framework that decomposes the SH research into four domains and 15 sub-domains. The framework is applied to visualize the state of the art of SH research, and to outline future challenges. The framework helps researchers to identify gaps in SH research.
