On Ubiquitous Integrated Computing

Ubiquitous integrated computing makes possible new workflow processes and business models which can meet the challenges from the fast growing digital convergence. An integrated information framework architecture is proposed, to cope with business challenges to merge and integrated data across domain boundaries. Sensor-data are captured and mapped onto a common (standardized) format where semantic web technologies enable seamless and invisible data-fusion. The proposed architecture raises several technological challenges. Efficient and reliable sensors that can operate in hazardous environment are required. Extended use of sensors may generate vast amount of data, and efficient data filtering, integration and reasoning are needed to benefit from the expanded data collection.
