SEMIoTICS: Semantically Enhanced IoT-Enabled Intelligent Control Systems

In today’s “smart era” there is a growing ecosystem of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled devices, which exploit (wireless) Internet connectivity and use standard communication protocols to interact with each other and the environment. As various IoT components are becoming widely available in the marketplace, a key challenge from a feedback control viewpoint is the ability to seamlessly integrate new IoT components or modify existing configurations in feedback control settings without having to halt the operation of the system and redesign the overall feedback control scheme. This paper exploits technologies from the semantic Web domain, for the design of a novel semantically enhanced IoT-enabled intelligent control system (SEMIoTICS) architecture. The proposed SEMIoTICS scheme incorporates a supervisor module able to facilitate the semantic modeling of IoT components and the subsequent online composition/reconfiguration of feedback control loops. We demonstrate the applicability of the SEMIoTICS architecture through illustrative scenarios from the smart buildings domain.
