Abstract:
The challenge of supporting Ubiquitous
Computing is to assist the user by helping their applications
make better decisions with better information. Smart
spaces and other information sources can provide this
information, but it is unrealistic to expect all the
information to be represented in the same way everywhere.
This means that the goal of ubiquitous computing
translates into a problem of information integration.
This paper presents a new knowledge-driven approach to
applying contextual information to user applications. The
objective of the design is to use a semantic integration,
represented in topic maps, to deliver knowledge found in
available services to personalise and improve the
functionality of an integrated application. A brief
discussion of the different semantic technologies employed
in the system is followed by a presentation of the
architecture of the system and its novel combination of
semantic technologies. Two Use Cases are discussed, one
specifically related to Ubiquitous Environments. Finally,
the work is related to other research in the areas of
Semantic Mediation and Context Awareness.
