Abstract

Building automation is a domain where interoperability between equipment made by different manufacturers is rare. In addition to competing standards, completely proprietary solutions are also common. This is a great challenge for implementing `ubiquitously smart buildings´, where building automation systems, user interfaces and services can interact seamlessly. The paper describes how a Semantic Information Broker (SIB) can be used as an enabler of interoperability, where an ecosystem of supplementary services is created through manufacturer-agnostic agents.
