Abstract:
Ubiquitous environments are often considered highly dynamic environments and the contextual information can change at runtime. User interface should provide the right information for the right person at the right time. Certainly, such objective can be achieved only when we deduce the realtime userâs requirements in terms of information and present this information to the user according to his current context of use. The specific goal of our research is to improve the adaptation process while improving models at runtime. A fixed model cannot handle the high dynamic in such an environment. The model can progress and change its structure to better deduce the userâs requirements. The work reported in this paper introduces a pertinent solution for representing the dynamic construction of a Petri-nets based model. The solution applies the ontology of service (OWL-S), given that the contextual information is defined by the ontology written in OWL.
