Sharing Devices between Applications with Autonomic Conflict Management

Smart Home aims to improve the quality of life by providing a variety of applications in different domains (e.g., comfort, security, energy, health, etc.). These applications share the same physical environment and may have to compete for the access to devices. Also, they may act in contradictory ways on shared devices. Such conflicts can lead to critical situations by putting home's inhabitants at risk. In this paper, we present our current work which purpose is to allow devices sharing between applications and to manage conflicts.
