A Rule-Based Software Agent on Top of Personal Data Stores

Wout Slabbinck, Ruben Dedecker, and Ruben Verborgh

As a response to centralised platforms hoarding user data on the web, Personal Data Stores (PDSs) are becoming more prominent. In this emerging space of decentralized PDS platforms, we see a growing need for automated agents to take over tasks that are normally handled by those data platforms. Where these intelligent agents already have their place in our daily lives, they are currently largely missing from the domain of Personal Data Stores. To address this need, we created a demonstrator software web agent that acts on the real world and personal data via condition–action rules. We applied this demonstrator to a smart home environment use case, where smart home appliances can be actuated and monitored via a personal data store. The generic architecture used by the implementation leads to maximal re-use of the agent, enabling multi-agent systems and researching more complex use cases.
