Pervasive Application Integration on Smart Spaces

Off-the-shelf smart devices and applications are expected to be pivotal in the coming need for massive home care. Deployment and integration of these systems in the same household may result in unplanned interactions involving users and entertainment, communication, and health-related devices. These unplanned interactions are a major concern when, for example, communication or entertainment applications interfere with the behavior of health-related devices. We present a novel graph-based approach for representing the expected behavior of off-the-shelf smart devices and applications, their interactions, and for detecting interference in home care settings. Our graphbased interference detection approach is integrated in the Safe Home Care reflective platform, which allows reifying the state of off-the-shelf systems and simulating home care scenarios.
