Mobile interaction with smart environments through linked data

This paper presents the design and architecture of an integrated environment that provides location independent and mobile access to Intelligent Domotic Environments. The envisioned architecture provides users with the ability to acquire information about devices in standard, semanticpowered, linked data formats and enables users to control house devices, independently of network and access method limitations; this enables the realization of a Web of Domotics (WoD) infrastructure. The architecture also provides the ability to perform operations, associated with the devices. A reference implementation is described, discussing the related technical foundations and issues, from general requirements to individual component design. First experimental results show that the approach is feasible and that can easily scale to wide-area deployment thanks to the adoption of open and well-established web standards.
