A multi-agent supervising system for smart environments

Published:13 June 2012Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a multi-agent architecture for a supervising system which is part of a new intelligent ambient system, called AmIHomCare. The supervising system detects the context of the person (using a domain ontology): the person location in the room together with the surrounding objects and its body posture. A sequence of these contexts is assembled in a daily activity, based on a set of rules, described by a stochastic context free grammar with attributes. Also the system predicts the next context and the next activity in order to detect emergencies in the smart environment.
