Abstract

Within an ambient intelligence context, this paper presents an approach to Human Home Interaction through the adoption of the DomoML web service based framework. This framework consists of a suite of XML based languages aiming to describe and interconnect home resources in order to obtain a smart home appliance of heterogeneous integrated devices. The DomoML framework is integrating and managing different devices, by abstracting them as homogeneous resources. It is based on the use of semantic web technologies, on one hand, which provide interoperability and allow the automated processing and reasoning; and, on the other hand, on the use of RESTful webservices as a mechanism of integration and communication between heterogeneous physical devices. This platform is going to be applied in elderly people's home to enhance quality of life regarding independence of daily living and safety. The application of the framework to this domain aims to provide innovative solutions and ICT services to answer the social and health-care needs of elderly people at sustainable costs.
