There is a growing trend to deploy Web services in pervasive computing environments. Implementing Web services on networked, embedded devices leads to a set of challenges, including productivity of development, efficiency of Web services, and handling of variability and dependencies of hardware and software platforms. To address these challenges, we developed a Web service compiler called Limbo, in...
Self-management is one of the challenges for realizing ambient intelligence in pervasive computing. In this paper,we propose and present a semantic Web based self-management approach for a pervasive service middleware where dynamic context information is encoded in a set of self-management context ontologies. The proposed approach is justified from the characteristics of pervasive computing and the...
Current mobile middleware is designed to have a monolithic structure according to a 'one-size-fits-all' paradigm, which lacks the flexibility for optimization, customization and adaptation to different situations. In this paper we investigate the usage of software product line techniques together with OWL ontology reasoning enhanced BDI (belief-desire-intention) agents in an ongoing research project...
Current mobile middleware is designed according to a 'one-size-fits-all' paradigm, which lacks the flexibility for customization and adaptation to different situations, and does not support user-centered application scenarios well. In this paper we describe an ongoing intelligent mobile middleware research project called PLIMM that focuses on user-centered application scenarios. PLIMM is designed...
Ontology is recognized as a key technology for the success of the semantic Web. Building reusable and evolve-able ontologies in order to cope with ontology evolution and requirement changes is increasingly important. But the existing methodologies and tools fail to support effective ontology reuse and evolution. In this paper, we present a product line based reuse-oriented ontology development methodology...
Improving the reusability of ontology is recognized as increasingly important due to the prevalence of OWL research and applications. But there exists no convincing methodology and tool support in this direction yet. In this paper, we apply ideas from the research and practice with software product lines in order to explore this issue. The ontology is developed and managed according to the commonalities...
