Abstract:
User needs are expanding and becoming more and more complex with the emergence of newly adopted technologies. As a result, the convergence of smart devices, having the capability to communicate as well as sharing information and ensuring user need satisfaction, leads to profoundly change the way we interact with our environment. They should provide an adaptive assistance in both reactive and proactive mode and new communication methods focused on multimodal and multichannel interfaces. However, most of existing context-aware systems have extremely tight coupling between applications’ semantic and sensor’s details. So, the objective of our research is to implement an approach which can support the ability to reuse sensors and to evolve existing applications to use new context types. In this paper, we illustrate our approach for proactive intelligent assistance and we describe our architecture based on three principal layers. These layers are designed in order to build applications which can increase the welfare of the user situated in intelligent environment.
