Smart-M3 Techniques

Abstract

The previous chapters elaborated the design principles that guide the development of smart spaces-based applications using the Smart-M3 platform. The principles aim at such properties for applications as (i) interoperability for a multitude of participated heterogeneous devices, services, and users localized in the physical surrounding and (ii) context-aware, situational, and personalized service construction and delivery. In this chapter, we present selected ontology-oriented modeling techniques for applying the principles. The aspect of shared semantic information management becomes essential for service construction. We describe techniques how implement this management in a smart space. A question of what is a smart service compared with regular service is still debatable. We describe techniques how implement various intelligence attributes in services constructed and delivered in M3 spaces.
