6 Discussion
Challenges of semantics and interoperability have long been known in the era of
the IoT, especially if different subsystems should work together flawlessly without an overlying de-facto standard. Our approach of trying to offer a WoT-based
cloud application, where an AI module and different smart home middleware systems are allowed to connect seems promising for us: We are confident to fulfill
all requirements European laws are demanding. Furthermore, we think that it
is possible to create a holistic IAM from cloud-driven systems which are often
offering CapBAC strategies to smart home middleware systems, that need to be
extended in relation to their specific software architectural patterns. Therefore,
we need to create strategies to integrate other smart home middleware systems
besides openHAB as well, either advanced approaches like universAAL or existing systems like HomeKit or Z-Wave. It is important for ForeSight that lots
of existing smart home middleware systems are becoming part of ForeSight, so
that ForeSight can achieve its goal to play an important role in the smart living
domain.
