| Description

This project encapsulates diverse context data in a
generic framework for mobile context-based
applications. The goal of this project work is to find
new methods, dealing with abstract semantic description
of objects and their interaction and to manifest this
methods in a software artefact. Forthcoming research
and new hard-ware concerning communication technology
through radio (IEEE802.11b, Bluetooth, RFID) enables
the use of interconnected sensors and actors. These
intelligent sensors and actors are embedded in their
environment and are collecting masses of unstructured
data about this environment.
The following research issues are investigated: Context Sensing: Definition of generic methods, to gain context information event triggered and time triggered (via polling) Representation of context information: To find a suitable abstract representation to describe semantic context information. Integration of abstract rules: To find a context rule syntax definition, in order to control interaction of heterogeneous devices. Communication: Usage of popular transport protocols to enable the retrieve of context information. The context framework is based on standard Internet technology (TCP/IP, XML, SOAP, RDF), and the key features are presented in a demonstrator “Bavaria Emergency” in an RFID sensor based theater setting. The project was carried out in cooperation with Siemens Corporate Technology Munich. |
