A Ubiquitous Knowledge-based System to Enable RFID Object Discovery in Smart Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
A ubiquitous Knowledge Base (u-KB) is a distributed and decentralized knowledge base where the factual knowledge (i.e. individuals) is scattered between objects disseminated within a given environment with no centralized coordination. Such a vision enables a truly pervasive environment where autonomous objects set up a self-organized discovery architecture. This paper presents an extended framework to set-up u-KBs. An advanced semantic matchmaking makes possible resource discovery based on metadata stored in RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) tags without pre-stored and fixed repositories and a dissemination protocol allows an ondemand retrieval of suitable resource descriptions directly from tags located on the objects.

متن کاملRFID: An Ideal Technology for Ubiquitous Computing?
This paper presents a review of RFID based approaches used for the development of smart spaces and smart objects. We explore approaches that enable RFID technology to make the transition from the recognized applications such as retail to ubiquitous computing, in which computers and technology fade into the background of day to day life. In this paper we present the case for the use of RFID tech...
متن کاملSecure and Private Service Discovery in Pervasive Computing Environments
Every year, billions of computing devices are built and seamlessly integrated into our surroundings and daily lives. In the near future, we will live in pervasive computing environments. In these environments, devices range from traditional PCs, printers, or servers, to devices that people carry, wear, and to the devices that are embedded into commodities and ambient environments. Smart phones,...
متن کاملRFID-enhanced Ubiquitous Knowledge Bases: framework and approach
As opposed to classical paradigms, in pervasive computing the user simultaneously interacts with several micro-devices such as RFID tags “integrated” into the environment, extracting data from them. Current approaches based on centralized control and information storage are utterly impractical. Here a ubiquitous Knowledge Base (u-KB) is defined as a distributed knowledge base whose individual f...
