چکیده

One way of overcoming the challenges associated with mobile and pervasive computing environments involves providing users with higher levels of automation. This in turn requires capturing the context within which the user operates. In this paper, we describe ongoing research aimed leveraging Semantic Web Services in support of context awareness. This includes modeling sources of contextual information as web services that can be automatically discovered and accessed by agents that assist the user with different sets of tasks. By automatically discovering and accessing a variety of external web services, these agents can automatically develop and execute simple plans to assist the user (e.g. ordering a pizza, organizing an evening out, etc.). This research is being conducted in the context of myCampus, a prototype semantic web environment to enhance everyday campus life at Carnegie Mellon University.

Context-Aware Semantic Web Services Orchestration in Mobile Environments

Web services composition is a process that involves building new applications or services called composite services by assembling existing services. With the technological evolution and the mobility of the devices and thus the varieties of the environments, the development of the approaches sensitive to the context is paramount. This paper presents a comparative analysis of existing approaches ...

A Context-Aware Framework to Provide Personalized Mobile Assessment

In mobile learning environments, context-aware systems refer to applications that employ contextual information to provide appropriate services to the leaners or other applications to perform a specific task. An important challenge in such applications is context modeling, using ontologies to model context information and to reason about context at a semantic level. Semantic Web technologies ha...

A Semantic Context-Based Model for Mobile Web Services Access Control

As mobile web services becomes more pervasive, applications based on mobile web services will need flexible access control mechanisms. Unlike traditional approaches based on the identity or role for access control, access decisions for these applications will depend on the combination of the required attributes of users and the contextual information. This paper proposes a semantic context-base...

A Context-Aware Approach for Integrating Semantic Web Technologies onto Mobile Devices

Semantic Web technologies such as RDF are usually incorporated in the infrastructure of desktop and web applications and can currently not be entirely deployed on mobile devices. Therefore, the unique opportunities and novel features the Semantic Web offers are not amenable in mobile application scenarios, in which context and contextawareness is essential. In this thesis, we propose a context-...
