Context-aware computing is a lethal paradigm for making technology inconspicuous in people's lives. It is a disruptive technology capable of transforming and enriching human experience. Traditionally, applications collected context data directly from sensors and utilized them to target a narrow set of use cases. However, this is not a scalable approach. With the advent of Internet of Things (IoT),...
This paper presents a distributed smart home middleware where each appliance is able to learn user behavior and customize their actions by themselves as well as cooperate with other appliances through a more light-weight smart home gateway. As the key components, we present a knowledge base which describes common- and appliance-specific concepts in a smart home domain, and design libraries for smart...
To support rapid prototype development and integration of emerging smart home applications, we discuss a flexible and modular middleware framework implementation for home gateway system. The suggested implementation allows for uniting all heterogeneous networked resources with the gateway and publishes semantic enhancement of the cues being triggered by network resources to be processed in a meaningful...
A central concern in the area of Ubiquitous Network and ubiquitous computing has been the integration of digital resources including devices and heterogeneous networks with the physical world and people. However, current systems are independent to each other, which means that resources for ubiquitous computing are separated and applications could not be created on cross-platform. With the development...
It is well known that future vehicles will be equipped with Vehicle-to-Vehicle or Vehicle-to-Infrastructure systems (V2X systems where V designates Vehicle and X designates Vehicle or Infrastructure), providing the driver with the actual traffic conditions on the whole route and detailed information about the road. Due to the development of new services, a car becomes a third Internet space succeeding...
A challenge in the convergence of heterogeneous networks is how to combine the ubiquitous resources and provide the diversified individual services. By this, the vision of adaptive and context-aware service provision becomes possible and offers new opportunities for pervasive computing. In this paper, we describe an approach that addresses the convergence of wireless personal area and wide area networks...
Recently, context aware service has become one of the most promising topics for ubiquitous computing. In this study, we focus on developing a context aware framework based on the OSGi model to automatically provide appropriate information and services for users in a smart home environment. A middleware for integrating home services through a reasoning system is developed. By using JESS Markup Language...
The lack of support for federation and sharing inhibits real-world deployment of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In federated mode, multiple sensor networks belonging to separate administrative domains are used to achieve an applicationpsilas goal; in shared mode a single sensor or network provides its services to a range of applications. The lack of support for federation and sharing is particularly...
Evolving device capabilities and network technologies make the seamless combination of personal area and wide area networks capable and desirable to exploit advantages of each of the environments. By this, the vision of adaptive and context-aware service provision becomes possible and offers new opportunities for pervasive computing. In this paper, we describe an approach that addresses the convergence...
