The Smart Home Concept : our immediate future

This general paper aims at presenting the Smart Home concept. In this paper, we will detail a) the Smart Home concept b) the various networks infrastructures specific to the habitat c) our concepts to model the habitat and to provide the most adapted services to the inhabitants. Contrary to the other projects, we direct our work towards a sensors approach and an ontology modelling of the Smart Home. Our work has the originality to take into account the real heterogeneity of information present in a habitat and use a service oriented approach (SOA). We can say that our paper is a good overview to present what is a Smart Home and which are the necessary hardware and software components to make a Smart Home
