A Vital Approach for Smart Home System Using OWL Ontology

Software product line (SPL) features, both variant and reusable ones, have been depicted through numerous ways. Several studies have portrayed the different approaches to model the features of software products. In our paper, we have chosen smart home as the domain to explain the features and characteristics of product line. Our paper has adopted Web ontology approach to propose the relationship between software product line conformations. The dynamic interpretation of different software product line features has been depicted using variants. Feature tree, also called the feature diagram, has been exercised as comprehensive model to model software product line variants. Thus, presenting a graphical way is to represent the feature model using Web ontology approach. The design, analyzation and verification of feature model have evolved over the years. This paper focuses on OWL-DL as a reliable language for showcasing the variant features of SPL. Our paper discusses these essential variant components of smart home domain using Web semantics.
