Uma plataforma para computação sensível a contexto baseada em tecnologias web e armazenamento distribuído de ontologias

Abstract

The main objective of the internet of things is to use the existing internet infrastructure to connect systems, people and objects, allowing constant interaction and monitoring. This vision is directly related to existing research within pervasive computing. A common characteristic among pervasive computing research papers is that usually their respective platforms are closed and build exclusively to a specific objective or for a given institution, and therefore applying pervasive computing concepts usually demand from the authors to develop the software constrained to the knowledge domain where pervasive computing is going to be applied, which incur in few or none ways of sharing information with other projects. The objective of this research is to provide a common platform to enhance the communication between intelligent environments and people, using mobile devices as a way of interaction, allowing user contexts to be exposed in the Internet to intelligent devices which are not contained within the intelligent environment where the user is actually located by using existing cloud computing infrastructure and web standards ontology to share knowledge.
