Shared Ontology for Pervasive Computing

In smart space applications, we usually adopt semantic Web tech- nologies which possess pervasive context-aware ability to process many oner- ous tasks, e.g., knowledge sharing, context reasoning and interoperability. In order to achieve above purpose, it is necessary to exploit a Shared Ontologies for Pervasive Computing (SO4PC). These ontologies are expressed with stan- dard Ontology Web Language (OWL) and include modular component vocabu- laries to represent intelligent agents which are associated with beliefs, desires, intentions, time, space, events, user profiles, actions, policies for security and private protection. We discuss how SO4PC can be extended and used to support the applications of Smart Meeting Rooms (SMR) which is a broker-centric agent architecture.
