An ontology-enabled Service Oriented Architecture for pervasive computing
Qianfu Ni, Morris S. Sloman · 2005
In this paper, we propose a new ontology-enabled Service Oriented Architecture (OSOA) for pervasive computing that is built on Web services architecture, and incorporates Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). OSOA aims to combine context awareness and human-centric requirements related to ubiquitous computing with a new ontology-based approach to ad-hoc and goal-driven service composition.
