Fuzzy logic based algorithm for Context Awareness in IoT for Smart home environment

In Internet of Things, Context Awareness plays important role. Also it is important in Smart home environment where data from various sensors and input from user or user action must be interpreted and corresponding commands to actuators must be generated. There are various approaches available for context awareness, like supervised, unsupervised, rule based systems etc. But, these approaches have their own pros and cons depending on the need of an application. In the proposed approach we discuss the fuzzy logic based algorithm with architecture. Various Smart home scenarios are identified and implemented. Two scenarios are discussed in detail by applying proposed algorithm. For the performance measurement of proposed algorithm two parameters Response time and Accuracy are considered. Our implementation results show reasonable improvement in response time and accuracy, while keeping our approach light weight on resources.
