Abstract

Efficient operation of complex distributed systems such as smart environments requires development of self-organisation mechanisms. However, uncontrolled self-organization can often lead to wrong results. The paper proposes solving this problem through the “top-to-bottom” configuration principle. A reference model for a smart environment member is proposed. The approach is illustrated via a museum smart environment case study. It is then extended with introducing a recommending system based on the developed smart environment architecture.
