Cloud computing has been evolved as a key computing platform for sharing resources and services. People should have a relatively convenient environment and life for handling home-appliances. This study designs and develops a Web 2.0 Service Platform (WSP) for DPWS-based Home-appliances in the Cloud environment, which is composed of mobile users, home appliances and the cloud environment. WSP automatically...
The following topics are dealt with: still and video cameras; analog and digital audio; 3D video; mobile broadband; mobile TV; handheld and wearable computers; personal multimedia devices; advanced DVD and CD; AV streaming to handheld devices; driver assistance; Web services; grid services and service-oriented computing; semantic Web and ontology; Web intelligence; agents and personalization; mobile...
Mobile commerce (M-commerce) is an attractive research area due to its relative novelty, rapid growth, and great potential in business applications. Unfortunately, there are a number of constraints effecting both performance and usability of mobile devices and network bandwidth. In addition, existing M-commerce applications are lack of fully automated business processes and still require significant...
Aiming at the automatic composition issue of services in mobile collaboration platform, an agent-based automation service composition algorithm was proposed in this paper. Firstly, the status of service composition and agent technology was analyzed in depth. Then, transfer the semantic service to the equivalence action of agent plan. Based on it, the semantic service automation composition was carried...
This paper presents "ConServ", a Web service for context management. ConServ allows smart spaces to access user's context data according to user-defined policies. This Web service addresses the sharing and management of context data between smart spaces and as a result facilitates the creation of new smart spaces and the enhancement of old ones. Data related to a user's location, calendar,...
Advancements in wireless technologies and mobile networks are increasing the demands for novel mobile services beyond voice and text-messaging applications. However, discovering such services from any device is still a major challenge. This can be considered from two perspectives: the variety of mobile devices available and the lack of service descriptions. In order to address these issues, in this...
Pervasive computing technology plays a key role for providing context information and offering context-aware services, which allows users to obtain digitized contents and services from wired and wireless networks virtually anywhere at any time via different handheld mobile devices. In this paper, we propose an agent-based context-aware middleware for pervasive computing environment, which is implemented...
One of the goals of mobile and ubiquitous computing is to enable ad-hoc interactions between different kinds of entities to help end-users perform different kinds of tasks. These entities, which include devices and services, may either be mobile or situated in the surrounding physical environment. However, these interactions require the use of rich semantic models describing the capabilities of the...
Without a robust mechanism for integration of the various environments and their related ontologies it's difficult to realize a ubiquitous environment in which mobile users and devices can seamlessly interact and acquire services. Therefore, if a robust and semantic mapping among the ontologies of different environments can be built then they can be integrated with each other. This paper proposes...
Context-aware applications can satisfy users' information needs without consuming too much time in discovering information adaptive to users. In this paper, we propose a personalized information system to provide more user-oriented information considering context information such as a personal profile with preferences, location, traffic condition, weather, time, event, and so on. Our system architecture...
