Abstract: Today, proprietary home automation targets very specific applications which operate mostly on a cable based infrastructure. In contrast to that, our implementation builds a wireless ad-hoc multi-hop network based on the ESB sensor node platform from the FU-Berlin.
The nodes gather sensor readings in a home and transmit them to a central automation server. There, the readings are matched against a list of script statements. In case of a match, a specific action is performed. In this work we will show how the user can implement complex home automation applications optimized for his specific needs by defining very simple script statements. An important property of the system is also that the control of all home appliances is done by means of IR communication and Ethernet enabled multiple plugs. This way, the cooperation between manufacturers is no necessity in order to connect devices to the home automation network.

Resource-aware plan recognition in instrumented environments
Michael Schneider
- 10 May 2010
TL;DR: This thesis proposes a two-stage approach to solve the problem of plan recognition in instrumented environments, which is to infer an agent';s plans by observing its behavior by using a DBN-based and a POMDP-based utility model for observation sources which can be used with generic utility-based sensor selection algorithms.

Energy-Aware Task Assignment and Data Aggregation Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks
Hady S. AbdelSalam,Syed R. Rizvi,Stephan Olariu +2 more
- 11 Jan 2009
TL;DR: A lightweight management protocol is proposed that assigns tasks to sensors based on their energy so that energy consumption is almost even among network sensors and another mechanism to aggregate data collected by sensors before sending them back to the base station is proposed.
