Description:
We are living in the 3rd era of computing when one person interacts with many computers [Weiser, 1991]. Computers appear everywhere in human life such as household equipment, cars, mobile phones or even embedded in the environment. Pervasive computing, also called ubiquitous computing, is a post-desktop model of human-computer interaction in which information processing has been thoroughly integrated into everyday objects and activities. Research on pervasive computing is very challenge and complex because it requires various sub-disciplines of computer science: hardware, network protocols, software, applications, privacy and computational methods. There are many approaches to solving the specific problems in pervasive computing.
This research focuses on providing formalisms, definition of concepts and a framework for place-based virtual communities for integrating and organizing services in pervasive computing environments – we use a multi-agent service oriented architecture and engineer a modular ontology to represent place-based virtual communities.
