A unified data model and system support for the context-aware access to multimedia content

چکیده
Context-aware consumption of content implies that platforms mediating the access to content must be able to do that independently of the user location, type of terminal, network conditions and content formats. In addition, user preferences, environmental conditions and content owners and usage rights should be respected. The fulfillment of this concept requires the availability of a comprehensive set of metadata related with both the content and the usage environment. But how can systems coherently and easily exchange, inter-relate and use the different types of required meta– information? This paper presents the solution developed within the ENTHRONE project with this aim, describing the mechanisms designed for publishing multimedia content and all relevant metadata associated with the consumption of that content, in an open and unified form, for accessing that content upon request of end-users and decide if and what kind of adaptation operations are needed to provide a context-aware service to the end user. The solution is based on the MPEG-21 standard and on the adoption of a modular and distributed architecture to implement the required functionality.

Context-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...
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...

Mandatory access control models have traditionally been employed as a robust security mechanism in multilevel security environments such as military domains. In traditional mandatory models, the security classes associated with entities are context-insensitive. However, context-sensitivity of security classes and flexibility of access control mechanisms may be required especially in pervasive c...
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...

Recommender systems are a branch of retrieval systems and information matching, which through identifying the interests and requires of the user, help the users achieve the desired information or service through a massive selection of choices. In recent years, the recommender systems apply describing information in the terms of the user, such as location, time, and task, in order to produce re...
