This paper presents a Capability Ontology (CapOnt) and a rule-based reasoning mechanism, which support service management within adaptable service systems. The ontology concepts comprise capability types, capability parameters and service management functions related to capabilities. Capability parameter values can be defined by constraints on other capability parameters. The service management functions...
Despite the usefulness of passive network monitoring for the operation, maintenance, control and protection of communication networks, as well as law enforcement, network monitoring activities are surrounded by serious privacy implications. In this paper, an innovative approach for privacy-preserving authorization and access control to data originating from passive network monitoring is described...
CHRONIOUS is an highly innovative Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) research Initiative that aspires to implement its vision for ubiquitous health and lifestyle monitoring. The 17 European project partners are strictly working together since February 2008 to realize and open platform to manage and monitor elderly patients with chronic diseases and many difficulties to reach hospital...
Pervasive computing is the vision of technology that is invisibly embedded in natural surroundings. Users are offered unobtrusive services that require minimal attention. This paper proposes a rule-based ontology (RBO) for modeling context in pervasive computing environments, and for supporting logic based context reasoning. RBO takes a rule-based approach based on the event-condition-action pattern...
With focus on manufacture enterprise information service, we proposed one Web Service-oriented model of intellectual information management integrated semantic and agent technologies, and analyzed intellectual characters of the model. To serve well manufacture industry Web Service-oriented intelligent manufacture(IM) ontology based on idea of Increasing Precision with Decreasing Intelligence(IPDI)...
Information integration is a key for further growth of efficiency in management decisions for the railway domain. In the context of the EU project InteGRail (funded in the 6th Framework Programme) an integration approach leveraged by ontologies known from the semantic Web and logic-based reasoning mechanisms has been successfully demonstrated. To this effect existing heterogeneous monitoring data...
Elderly health-monitoring systems provide various proactive services according to context. Context plays an essential role in semantic understanding of human activities from sensor data. We present a novel event-driven context model for elderly health-monitoring application, which supports a distributed system with multimodal sensors. The context model is a dynamic hierarchical structure modeling...
We designed and implemented an ontological solution which makes provisions for choosing adequate devices/sensors for remote monitoring of patients who are suffering from post-stroke health complications. We argue that non-functional requirements in pervasive healthcare systems can be elicited and managed through semantics stored in ontological models and reasoning performed on them. Our contribution...
Over the past few years many medical professionals have shifted their focus to ubiquitous health monitoring systems. With continuous advancements in both bio-medical and information technologies, such futuristic monitoring systems have become a present reality. When intermixed with ubiquitous computing, a mobile health monitoring system provides unrestrained potential and innumerable applications...
In ubiquitous environments, users want to get a variety of services using only their individual mobile devices, but their devices usually have limited resources. Many resources in ubiquitous environments can be available and users want to share such resources. Therefore, resource sharing in a ubiquitous space and its efficient processing is one of the new research topics. However, the users' situations...
The rapid development of sensor technology led to large deployments of collections of sensing nodes working together to collect information for light, temperature, atmospheric pressure, air pollutions parameters, images, and other relevant data according to specific Environmental applications. The ability of the sensor networks to collect information accurately and reliably enables building both real-time...
The paper discusses the design of an ontology oriented threat detection system (OOTDS) for an environment of objects with properties and relations described by random variables in a PR-OWL first order Bayesian logic ontology. The environment is monitored by a set of monitors continuously providing the OOTDS with information about current events, which reflect changes in the environment. Thanks to...
The management of access networks to guarantee the Quality of Experience for multiplay services, is complicated by the heterogeneity in service specifics and home network configurations. The appropriate action to restore the QoE is highly dependent on the type of service, the affected user, etc. This requires an almost per-user and per-service management. Through autonomous reasoning, the required...
Compliance management (CM) is the management process that an organization implements to ensure organizational compliance with relevant requirements and expectations. Compliance auditing (CA) is a child-process of CM where compliance rules and policies are individually checked against the organization to determine the level of compliance achieved by the organization. In this paper, we arrange organizational...
