| Abstract |
|
The current ever-growing evolution of mobile technologies
suggests the possibility of accessing services, in an itinerant
and ubiquitous way, through many kinds of mobile
devices (laptops, palmtops, cellular phones and so on). On
the other hand, the highly dynamic and context-dependent
requirements of services in distributed environments motivate
and recommend the use of ontology-based techniques
and tools to automatically locate services that fulfill a given
user request.
Our aim in this work is to propose a lightweight
ontology-based approach to allow the service discovery on
mobile terminals, taking into account limited user interactions
supported by this kind of devices. In the proposed approach,
the user can specify the requested service in terms
of expected capabilities. A semantic-enriched framework
to describe services and an ontology-based discovery approach
where such framework is exploited are applied to
find services fulfilling the user needs, combining together
different kinds of comparison strategies that provide a flexible
and efficient matchmaking between service descriptions.
