DOG: An Ontology-Powered OSGi Domotic Gateway

This paper proposes an ontology-powered Domotic OSGi gateway (DOG) able to expose different domotic networks as a single, technology neutral, home automation system. The adoption of a standard framework such as OSGi, and of sophisticated modeling techniques stemming from the Semantic Web research community, allows DOG to go beyond simple automation and to support reasoning-based intelligence inside home environments.
