Representation of smart environments using distributed P systems

Abstract

The representation of a system for effective reasoning in smart environments is the focus of this research work. The motivation here is to enable assisted living in a smart home. The smart environment is represented here using a variant of an existing membrane computing model the Distributed P System. Evolution rules that govern the mechanism and functionality of the system are required for effective modeling. The algorithms proposed and presented here generate these evolution rules automatically and also integrates all generatedP Systems to form the DistributedP System. © 2012 ICST Institute for Computer Science, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
