A Context-Based Infrastructure for Smart Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order for a smart environment to provide services to its occupants, it must be able to detect its current state or context and determine what actions to take based on the context. We discuss the requirements for dealing with context in a smart environment and present a software infrastructure solution we have designed and implemented to help application designers build intelligent services and applications more easily. We describe the benefits of our infrastructure through applications that we have built.

Semantic Location Based Services for Smart Spaces
Enhancing the physical environment of users with IT and communication elements is one of the main objectives of the pervasive computing paradigm. The so-called “smart spaces”, which are typical pervasive computing environments, combine computing infrastructure with intelligent and context-aware services in order to advance the users’ computing experience. In this paper we describe the basic met...
متن کاملAn Agent-based Context Awareness Management Framework
Context awareness drives adaptability of pervasive computing systems both in virtual and physical environments that change dynamically. This paper presents a context awareness management framework based on intelligent software agents. The fundamental element of this framework is our RAP (Resources, Actors, Policies) context model which defines two ways for context information representation: se...
متن کاملMiddleware for Smart Environments Management
This paper introduces a self-configuring middleware that manages the processes of context information acquisition and representation from smart closed environments, targeting the development of context aware applications. The environment context information is modeled using three sets: context resources, context actors and context policies. The context model artifacts are generated and administ...
متن کاملJavacard-enabled Smart Cards for Collaborative Engineering Environments
Confidentiality and security in data access and transmission over multiple open networks are of utmost importance for most collaborative engineering environments. In this article, we review smart card based security technologies for their application in computer-based collaborative engineering environments. We focus on most recent microprocessor-based smart cards and on JavaCard as a developmen...
متن کاملContory: A Middleware for the Provisioning of Context Information on Smart Phones
Context-awareness can serve to make ubiquitous applications deployed for mobile devices adaptive, personalized, and accessible in dynamically changing environments. Unfortunately, existing approaches for the provisioning of context information in ubiquitous computing environments rarely take into consideration the resource constraints of mobile devices and the uncertain availability of sensors ...
