Abstract

This paper presents a semantic policy adaptation technique and its applications in the context of smart building setups. We study how semantic rules which are created for one set of contextual conditions are affected when one of the context parameters changes. In particular, rules for triggering alerts and monitoring appliances and their adaptation with changing contexts have been studied in detail. We then describe how this changing context triggers changes in other related context parameters. This technique has been implemented to demonstrate its feasibility, evaluated and positively accepted during trials with users of a real-life semantically empowered smart building setup.
