Self-Sensing Spaces : Smart Plugs For Smart Environments

In the past few years the field of pervasive computing has expanded and infiltrated down to everyday consumer activities. Smartness of devices is constantly increasing. Smart products are widespread; not just limited to appliances and electronics. With the availability of such products, there becomes an increased need for a scalable smart environment. The need for real world modeling of such environments is becoming increasingly important. It is very useful to be able to discover the location of a certain device, reason about it, and finally be able to control it remotely. Such self-sensing and delegation of control is needed by many applications. In this paper, we discuss the idea of self-sensing spaces spaces that can sense themselves in terms of locating and controlling its contents. In addition, we discuss the implementation of smart plugs; a novel way to locate and control smart devices within an real smart house.
