Book synopsis

The ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) area, sometimes§called pervasive computing, presupposes a strong§integration with the real world, with focus on the§user and on keeping high transparency. For §the development of applications in this scenario, we§need an adequate software infrastructure. This book,§therefore, presents an infrastructure based on§Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), making use §of framework and middleware. The specific focus is§context awareness: the perception of characteristics§related to users and surroundings. We keep a history§of context using ontology. In this way, context is§represented in a considerably expressive, formal §approach, different from many solutions that exist§today. Our work is then at the intersection of these§three main areas: software infrastructures for§ubicomp, context awareness, and ontologies. In §the book, we also survey the field of ubiquitous§computing, suggesting a general architectural model§to deal with its fundamental challenges. This book is§intended for professionals in the computer science§area, particularly developers, designers, and§researchers that want to know more about the novel§and innovative field of ubicomp.
