ResourceHome: an RFID-based architecture and a flexible model for ambient intelligence

In this paper, we propose ResourceHome, an innovative RFID-based framework to locate objects in delimited environments and statically prevent/detect dangerous spatial/temporal configurations, i.e. configurations firing dangerous interactions of properties among objects. Differently from most of RFID-based frameworks for spatial recognition, ResourceHome is equipped with an ontology-based knowledge model for describing two-dimensional environments with fixed and mobile objects, as well as with a suitable First Order logic-based model for statically detecting spatial/temporal configurations of objects firing dangerous interactions.
