Seminario Accademia Hardware e Software Libero C. OlivettiLe tecnologie del Web Semantico e la sua applicazione nel campo della Domotica e dell'Intelligenza Ambientale sono state il tema trattato da Fulvio Corno nel seminario odierno (08/11/2011) presso la Accademia dell'Hardware e del Software Libero "C. Olivetti", presso il polo culturale dell'Officina H ad Ivrea.

Sono disponibili i lucidi dell'intervento e la registrazione (screencast) dello stesso (scarica .avi).

 


 

 

Verification of State Charts with DogOnt propertiesAt the latest The 7th International Conference on Intelligent Environments, in Nottingham (UK), Fulvio Corno presented a talk on a formal verification approach for intelligent ambients, based on model checking, for ensuring the consistency between statechart reprenting the behavior of single domotic devices with their respective DogOnt description and properties.

The strength of Smart Homes is their automation capabilities. System designers and end users may program the behavior of the home, to define automatic behaviors and actions to happen at specified times or corresponding to specific events.

Programming the house behavior is a complex task, but the Visual Rule Builder makes it easier by offering an easy-to-use graphical web-based interface aimed at non-expert users.

The Dog 2.0 gateway is an extremely powerful tool for controlling smart environments. Unfortunately, describing a new environment was a complex and tediuos task of creating an XML configuration file, or worse a semantic DogOnt instance in the OWL language.

Until now.

We are happy to present a new IDE able to graphically design new domotic enviroments, and to instantiate and configure intelligent devices.

Domotics an open approachFor the "Free software" PhD course, Luigi De Russis realized a presentation about an "open approach" to domotics. The presentation overviews the openness of the most important European protocols and technologies dedicated to home automation and, finally, introduces the Dog gateway. Available the presentation slides.


DogEye interfaceThe paper DOGeye: Controlling your Home with Eye Interaction has been accepted for publication on the Interacting with Computers journal.

A public pre-print of the paper is already available, under open access terms on the PORTO repository.
