Context gathering in Ubiquitous Environments: Enhanced Service Discovery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Delivering individualized services that conform to the user’s current situation will form the focus of ubiquitous environments. A description of the networked environment at a semantic level will necessitate contextually oriented knowledge acquisition methods. This then engenders unique challenges for the crucial step of resource discovery. A number of service discovery protocols exist to perform this role. In this paper, we identify the requirements inherent for such an environment and investigate the suitability of the available protocols against these. A suitable candidate solution is proposed with an implementation with semantic extensions and reference points for further enhancements.

Discovery and Composition of Services for Context-Aware Systems
We consider the challenge of dynamically adapting services to context changes that occur in ubiquitous computing environments (e.g., changes in a user’s activity) and propose the Context-Aware Service Enabling (CASE) platform for that purpose. The CASE platform combines context-aware service discovery with service composition, acting as an enabler for the development of adaptive context-aware a...
متن کاملService Discovery in Ubiquitous Environments: Approaches and Requirements for Context-Awareness
We are living a democratization of ubiquitous environments offering a great number of services. Different devices, having different technical capacities access those services. Such environment requires an effective service discovery approach. In this paper, we start with a study of some existing service discovery approaches. Then we introduce a semantic and context-aware service discovery appro...
متن کاملA Group-Aware Middleware for Ubiquitous Computing Environments
In this paper, we present, Active Surroundings, a groupaware middleware infrastructure for ubiquitous computing environments. Our system focuses on two key issues: group-awareness and transparent application reconfiguration. To achieve these goals, Active Surroundings is composed of four key component: environment sensing for abstraction of environment status and changes and tracing movements o...
متن کاملSupporting Context Awareness in Ubiquitous Service Environments
Computing devices are becoming wireless, increasingly smaller and embedded into other artefacts. Some of them are mobile while others are built into the environment. The novel technologies are also becoming more dependent of communication with other computing devices over different kinds of networks. These interconnected devices constitute locally distributed computing environments that will se...
متن کاملApplying Context-awareness to Service-oriented Architecture
Mobile devices used today have limited capabilities of gathering information about the situation in which they are used – the context – collecting data by sensors built into the devices. The currently popular service-oriented architecture paradigm composes applications from distributed services which provide a specific function through a platformindependent interface. In this paper, we describe...
