Context-aware Computing Using a Shared Contextual Information Service
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Aura ubiquitous computing project is investigating how we can reduce user distractions by having applications automatically adapt to the user’s context. Context-aware applications rely on a shared service, the Contextual Information Service, to obtain context information. In this paper we describe our experience in implementing four very different applications using the CIS and in porting the applications to a different environment. One of the services also integrates technologies developed by a sister project that focuses on using the Semantic Web to support context awareness and privacy.

A semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...
متن کاملSemantic-Based Context-Aware Service Discovery in Pervasive-Computing Environments
Service discovery is vital in pervasive-computing environments, where a great number of devices and software components collaborate unobtrusively and provide numerous services. Current service-discovery protocols do not make use of contextual information in discovering services, and as a result, fail to provide the most appropriate and relevant services for users. In addition, current protocols...
متن کاملPath Privacy in Location-aware Computing
Context-aware applications often require sharing private data with a service provider. Most contextual information, such as location, changes over time. Privacy mechanisms that can safeguard information when shared with less trusted organizations, however, remain more suitable for static or point-in-time information. We make the case for developing privacy mechanisms that adequately address tim...
