“…It could then either suppress or reject calls deemed unimportant. In such systems, novel solutions for end-user-centric service discovery are crucial in providing personalized views of only the services of potential interest, which is based on factors such as the end-user context, end-user preferences, the access device's capabilities, and environmental conditions [2].…”

SummaryIn this paper, we present three experimental proof-of-concepts: First, we demonstrate a Ubiquitous Computing Framework (UCF), which is a network of interacting technologies that support humans ubiquitously. We then present practical work based on this UCF framework: TalkingPoints, which was originally developed for use at trading fairs in order to identify each participant and company via transponder and provide specific information during and after use. Finally, we propose GARFID, a concept for using advanced technologies for teaching young children. The main outcome of this research is that the concept of UCF raises a lot of possibilities, which can bring value and benefits for end-users. When one follows the Working-is-Learning paradigm, it can be seen that the implementation of this type of technology can support Life Long Learning, thereby providing evidence that technology can benefit everybody and make life easier.

“…The agent can support the diverse high-quality services by taking into account the user mobility and the dynamic event generation in heterogeneous networks [11]. However, in multi-service domains, a centralized agent system will require the self-configuration with the interconnection with devices, systems, and networks.…”

Zone-Aware Service Platform: A New Concept of Context-Aware Networking and Communications for Smart-Home Sustainability

Recent advances in networking and communications removed the restrictions of time and space in information services. Context-aware service systems can support the predefined services in accordance with user requests regardless of time and space. However, due to their architectural limitations, the recent systems are not so flexible to provide device-independent services by multiple service providers. Recently, researchers have focused on a new service paradigm characterized by high mobility, service continuity, and green characteristics. In line with these efforts, improved context-aware service platforms have been suggested to make the platform possible to manage the contexts to provide the adaptive services for multi-user and locations. However, this platform can only support limited continuity and mobility. In other words, the existing system cannot support seamless service provision among different service providers with respect to the changes of mobility, situation, device, and network. Furthermore, the existing context-aware service platform is significant reliance on always-on infrastructure, which leads to great amounts of energy consumption inevitably. Therefore, we subsequently propose a new concept of context-aware networking and communications, namely a zone-aware service platform. The proposed platform autonomously reconfigures the infrastructure and maintains a service session interacting with the middleware to support cost-and energy-efficient pervasive services for smart-home sustainability.

“…One common limitation to them is that they are initially designed based on specific assumption about the underlying network, the user behaviors, or the application needs [12]. Although aforementioned service discovery protocols make use of many methods for service description, most of them are syntax-level and there is not enough semantic information included in the service description [13].…”

Many pervasive services are embedded in smart homes. It is a great challenge to schedule these services due to the heterogeneity and the mobility of devices. In this article, we elaborate a context-aware service scheduling framework (CASSF), which discovers available services hosted on those heterogeneous and mobile devices, selects suitable services that meet task requirements (TR) and ultimately enhances user experience with content adaptation. Contributions of this article are in three folds. First, the device ontology is designed to describe device features including built-in services, which benefits the knowledge sharing and facilitates the service discovery; second, a context-aware service selection mechanism is proposed, in which available services and contexts including user situations, TR, device capabilities, etc. are taken into consideration. Furthermore, due to the heterogeneity and the diversity of devices, the content adaptation is introduced in the framework to improve user satisfaction. Based on the CASSF, a multimedia prompting system is implemented to assist the elderly with intelligent services, and the evaluation of the proposed framework is performed in term of the execution time. The experimental results showed the framework is feasible and effective.
