Semantic Services for Ambient Intelligence
Motivation
Dynamic service composition in open environments as in pervasive computing and/or ambient intelligence systems, implies that services should be discovered and composed on the fly at execution time. This is achievable only if service descriptions are machine-understandable. This motivates the enrichment of service description languages with a semantic dimension that will allow a more flexible matching than the classical and limited syntactic matching. This semantic matching includes two dimensions:- The semantic annotation of service interfaces using ontologies, for understanding the services' provided functional and non-functional capabilities
- The services' behavioral description for enforcing valid component invocation
Research
Our work on enabling semantic-aware service composition for ambient intelligence decomposes into:- Semantic-aware service discovery, including semantic service description and related matching.
- Semantic-aware service composition, including QoS- and context-aware service composition, and semantic process integration and verification.
