Abstract
Nowadays smart homes allow achieving higher performances and support the users’ everyday life by device cooperation and related service. However the simulation of their behaviour is neither investigated. This paper presents a smart home reference model able to represent the home items and defines an information management model to support design and simulation of its devices as well as the enabled services. The paper describes the tool application on a real use case, where a smart home is modelled and services simulated to support smart home design.
