Fine-grained Conflict Detection of IoT Services (2007.12487v1)

Abstract: We propose a novel framework to detect conflicts among IoT services in a multi-resident smart home. A fine-grained conflict model is proposed considering the functional and non-functional properties of IoT services. The proposed conflict model is designed using the concept of entropy and information gain from information theory. We use a novel algorithm based on temporal proximity to detect conflicts. Experimental results on real-world datasets show the efficiency of the proposed approach.
