Design of an Open Context-Aware Platform enabling Desk Sharing Office Services
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the coming years user-centric services will be deployed in our homes, cars, offices, etc. Users expect that these services are autonomous and user-friendly. This requires that these services can adapt themselves to changes in the environment, implying that they have to become contextaware. In this paper we present a formal context model and an OSGi based framework that allows easy development and installation of context-aware services. The platform is open since it allows that new components are easily plugged in. Applicability is illustrated with a location determination use case in an desk sharing office environment where employees don’t have a fixed location or desk.

A Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....

In this paper, we present a collaborative context-aware framework for rural living labs or rural innovation ecosystems as Social Spaces for Research and Innovation SSRI. The proposed framework exploits seamless integration of standard ubiquitous computing technologies to support smart collaboration and knowledge sharing between rural communities. We underline an open collaborative platform base...
متن کاملEnabling Context-Aware Web Services: A Middleware Approach for Ubiquitous Environments
In ubiquitous environments, mobile applications should sense and react to environmental changes to provide a better user experience. In order to deal with these concerns, Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) provide a solution allowing applications to interact with the services available in their surroundings. In particular, context-aware Web Services can adapt their behavior considering the us...
متن کاملDiscovery and Composition of Services for Context-Aware Systems
We consider the challenge of dynamically adapting services to context changes that occur in ubiquitous computing environments (e.g., changes in a user’s activity) and propose the Context-Aware Service Enabling (CASE) platform for that purpose. The CASE platform combines context-aware service discovery with service composition, acting as an enabler for the development of adaptive context-aware a...
متن کاملAgent-Oriented Approach to Develop Context-Aware Applications: A Case Study on Communities of Practice
This paper presents and discusses the use of an agent-oriented context-aware platform to support the interactions of the participating actors of communities of practice in the health care domain. Our work is based on a scenario where communities of practice are applied in a hospital to enhance the knowledge sharing among the hospital staff members who share interests and goals. An agent-oriente...
