Applying Semantic Web in Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing: Will Policy-Awareness Help?
Ora Lassila · 2005
Abstract. The Semantic Web can be seen as a means of improving the interoperability between systems, applications, and information sources. Emerging personal computing paradigms such as mobile and ubiquitous computing will benefit from better interoperability, as this is an enabler for a higher degree of automation of many tasks that would otherwise require the end-users ’ attention. In this paper we present one possible view of mobile and ubiquitous computing enhanced with the application of Semantic Web technologies, and explore the various benefits of policy-awareness to this application domain. 1
