Web Objects Based Energy Efficiency for Smart Home IoT Service Provisioning

Reducing energy consumption while satisfying user living comfort is a challenging issue in IoT environment for utilities and service providers. Energy consumption needs to be reduced without compromising user comfort that depends not only on current environment condition but also real world knowledge, history data and user preferences. Web Objects based IoT environment allows objects virtualization and use of semantic ontology to create real world knowledge and applies cognitive functionalities to learn user preferences. Web Objects based IoT environment allows integration of connected objects and isolation of information from multiple application domains. Depending on user current situation, location, time, history data and future prediction, energy efficiency on WoO make intelligent decision to offer services for user comfort living and reduce energy consumption. This paper proposes an architecture that supports Web Objects based energy efficiency for smart home IoT services. To realize knowledge-based intelligent IoT services, a use case scenario has been studied.
