Automatic Service Provision in Network Smart Space

Abstract

A semantic and automatic framework for network smart space is proposed in this paper. In the framework, techniques of spontaneous service provision, context-aware, semantic reasoning, and pervasive service management are smoothly synthesized. A six-layer conceptual architecture is introduced on the basis of functional characteristics of framework. It enables objects in network smart space to interact spontaneously, provides semantic-integration context awareness, and supports meta-service based adaptability and scalability. We illustrate our ideas through a scenario of conference travel service in network smart space, which demonstrates the feasibility of our framework.
