Resource description approach for pervasive computing environments
Tao Zhang · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2009
Resource description is the foundation of resource management in pervasive computing environments.Due to the open- ness,user-oriented,and uncertainty features,there are new challenges for describing resource in pervasive computing environments. Most recent work has paid attention to the service-oriented,semantic,and user-oriented issues of resource description,however, there needs the support to deal with the uncertainty.This paper presents a new approach to resource description focused on un- certainty,which is achieved be extending the OWL-S,Web service description,and it is defined as OWL-SP.The OWL-SP is able to cover the major requirements of service-oriented,semantic,user-oriented,and stochastic.The preliminary experiment evalu- ates the effectiveness of our approach.
