Semantic Brokering of Multimedia Contents for Smart Delivery of Ubiquitous Services in Pervasive Environments

With the proliferation of modern mobile devices having the capability to interact each other and with the environment in a transparent manner, there is an increase in the development of those applications that are specifically designed for pervasive and ubiquitous environments. Those applications are able to provide a service of interest for the user that depends on context information, such as the user's position, his preferences, the capability of the device and its available resources. Services have to respond in a rational way in many different situations choosing the actions with the best expected result by the user, so making environment not only more connected and efficient, but smarter. Here we present a semantic framework that provides the technology for the development of intelligent, context aware services and their delivery in pervasive and ubiquitous environments

Distributed Agents network for ubiquitous Monitoring and Services Exploitation

Many application contexts noways are characterized by pervasiveness of embedded systems in crowded environments of everyday life. To accomplish common requirements ubiquitous computing must address many issues such as communication among users, services and sensors, security, interoperability, collection of information and context representation. Here we present a distributed solutions based on autonomous agents which represent the connection between services and services extensions, implemented by pervasive sensors and actuators. We focus on supervision and control of human activities, which can be automatically assisted. In particular we developed a prototype application that allow to check the compliance with safety standards of working activities in a constructing sit
