An Architecture Supporting Implementation of Context-Aware Services
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work describes an approach to facilitate to use of contextual information to improve the quality of service in a mobile ambient environment. The approach advocated here defines two levels of applications: a simple stimuliresponse based system using the Context-Middleware, and a more complex and adaptive version that utilises a multi-agent environment to supply information and context to mobile users. The main goal of this work is to show how a developer easily can implement a simple responsive system, and by following simple specification of agent communications, the local ontology and complying with the specifications of the Context Middleware, develop adaptive context-aware applications.

Towards a Services Platform for Mobile Context- Aware Applications
Context-aware services platforms aim at supporting the handling of contextual information in order to provide better user-tailored services. This paper proposes a novel services platform architecture to support mobile context-aware applications, giving emphasis to the configurability of the platform’s generic functionality. The paper introduces concepts and a language to cope with configurabili...
متن کاملAn Architecture and Supporting Environment of Service-Oriented Computing Based-on Context Awareness
Service-oriented computing (SOC) is emerging to be an important computing paradigm of the next future. Based on context awareness, this paper proposes an architecture of SOC. A definition of the context in open environments such as Internet is given, which is based on ontology. The paper also proposes a supporting environment for the context-aware SOC, which focus on services on-demand composit...
متن کاملPerception framework for supporting development of context-aware web services
Purpose – Context-awareness is an essential property of any pervasive system perceiving its environment. Such a system captures and processes context, i.e. the features describing the relevant aspects of environment state and user behaviour. However, development of these systems still requires solving a number of research and engineering challenges. The purpose of this paper is to propose perce...
متن کاملDistributed mediation of imperfectly sensed context in aware environments
Current context-aware services make the assumption that the context they are dealing with is correct. However, in reality, both sensed and interpreted context is often imperfect. In this paper, we describe an architecture that supports the building of context-aware services that assume context is imperfect and allows for the refinement of this imperfect context by mobile users in aware-environm...
متن کاملA Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....
