The SOUPA Ontology for Pervasive Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes SOUPA (Standard Ontology for Ubiquitous and Pervasive Applications) and the use of this ontology in building the Context Broker Architecture (CoBrA). CoBrA is a new agent architecture for supporting pervasive context-aware systems in a smart space environment. The SOUPA ontology is expressed using the Web Ontology Language OWL and includes modular component vocabularies to represent intelligent agents with associated beliefs, desire, and intentions, time, space, events, user profiles, actions, and policies for security and privacy. Central to CoBrA is an intelligent broker agent that exploits ontologies to support knowledge sharing, context reasoning, and user privacy protection. We also describe two prototype systems that we have developed to demonstrate the feasibility and the use of CoBrA.

A Pervasive Computing Ontology for User Privacy Protection in the Context Broker Architecture
Privacy protection is a key requirement for the future pervasive computing systems. This paper describes the design and implementation of a privacy protection framework that exploits the SOUPA policy ontology and its associated policy reasoning algorithm. The SOUPA policy ontology expressed in the Web Ontology Language OWL allows users to define policy rules to permit or forbid actions that att...
متن کاملA semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...
متن کاملComparison of Context-Aware Systems (Ontology-based)
here is a growing use of context-awareness techniques for developing pervasive computing applications. These methods are flexible, adaptable, and capable of acting autonomously on behalf of the users. The overall goal is to develop evolvable context-aware applications. A good context information modeling formalism reduces the complexity of context-aware applications and improves their maintaina...

We present a novel approach for the exploitation of embedded knowledge in the domain of industrial maintenance. Our approach extends the SOUPA set of ontologies (Standard Ontology for Ubiquitous and Pervasive Applications) with two new ontologies (i) the Set of Experience Knowledge Structure, used to model the user’s experience and (ii) the AR ontology which models an Augmented Reality environm...
متن کاملA context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...
