An ontology based context aware modeling for user centric mobile applications
0 likes159 views
Computing is becoming increasingly mobile, requiring applications and services to adapt to changing contexts in dynamic environments. An ontology-based context model represents, manipulates, and accesses context information to provide a common vocabulary for sharing semantic context between users, devices, and services. The proposed context ontology defines basic concepts like person, location, computational entity, and activity, and their properties and relationships, using OWL. It aims to support context-aware tasks in a middleware framework. The software requirements include J2ME, a wireless toolkit, Tomcat, MySQL, and ontology editors, and the hardware includes a PC and WAP-enabled mobile.
An ontology based context aware modeling for user centric mobile applications
- 1. Title: An Ontology Based Context Aware Modeling for User Centric Mobile Applications Computing becomes increasingly mobile and pervasive today; these changes imply that applications and services must be aware of and adapt to their changing contexts in highly dynamic environments. A context-aware system requires context information to be exchanged and used between different entities such as users, devices and services in a same semantic understanding. A context-aware infrastructure requires an appropriate context model to represent, manipulate and access context information. The basic concept of context model is based on ontology which provides a vocabulary for representing knowledge about a domain and for describing specific situations in a domain. Context ontology defines a common vocabulary to share context information in a pervasive computing domain; and include machine-interpretable definitions of basic concepts in the domain and relations among them and also present a context model based on ontology using OWL - Web Ontology Language to support various tasks in our context-aware middleware. It models the basic concepts of person, location, computational entity and activity; describes the properties and relationships between these concepts.
