Fuzzy control interoperability for adaptive domotic framework

The evolution of microprocessor industry, combined with the reduction on cost and increase of efficiency, arises new scenario for ubiquitous computing where humans trigger seamlessly activities and tasks using unusual (often imperceptible) interfaces according to physical space and context Many problems have to be faced: adaptivity, hybrid control strategies, system (hardware) integration, and ubiquitous networking access. This paper presents an agent-based framework designed for providing proactive domotic services. Agents are used to capture user habits, to identify requests, and to apply the artefact-mediated activity through an adaptive fuzzy control strategy. The architecture adopts interoperability techniques that, combined with sophisticated control facilities, represent an efficient experience for adaptive domotic framework. © 2004 IEEE.
