Abstract:
Computing has evolved in such a way that has left behind the limitation of being static and local, promoting the emergence of the new era of computing called Ubiquitous Computing. To maximize the use of this new computing platform, it is necessary to develop new and improved structures for knowledge and information representing, in order support the implementation of new intelligent searcher and recommendation systems. Thus, recommendations and search results will be fully based on contextual information and user profiles. This paper describes an architecture based on a multi-dimensional ontology model to represent mobile user contexts, Web services and application domains. A mobile application is also presented to show the benefits of this approach in a mobile computing environment.
