Scalable Middleware for Context-Aware Ubiquitous Computing
نویسنده
چکیده
In ubiquitous computing systems it is important for applications to obtain context information and adapt their behavior according to context information. For a ubiquitous application to obtain and use context information, it is necessary to provide basic services to discover proper context providers and exchange/store/infer from context information. Moreover, when providing such services, non-functional issues such as scalability, security, heterogeneity, etc. should also be considered. In this paper we introduce the architecture for a middleware providing basic services. This middleware makes it easier for ubiquitous applications to obtain context information and for sensor networks to provide context information. We also explain how the proposed middleware addresses the non-functional issues. Key-Words: Context-Awareness, Ubiquitous Computing, Middleware, Distributed Computing

متن کاملContext Modeling and Reasoning Approach in Context-Aware Middleware for URC System
To realize the vision of ubiquitous computing, it is important to develop a context-aware infrastructure which can help ubiquitous agents, services, and devices become aware of their contexts because such computational entities need to adapt themselves to changing situations. A context-aware infrastructure manages the context model representing contextual information and provides appropriate in...
