Abstract:
In this paper, we present a context management infrastructure for mobile service environments. Due to the remarkable advances the mobile technologies have experimented in the last years, mobile devices have become one of the most promising scenarios for the deployment of context-aware systems. For this reason, the aim of the proposed infrastructure is to provide context information to applications and services, both executed in the end-user terminals or in the network, enabling them to adapt their behaviour to each user and situation. The solution here exposed relies on semantic technologies and open standards to improve interoperability, and is based on a central element, the context manager, which acts as a central context repository and carries out demanding tasks in behalf of mobile devices.
