Scenario

Bob is arriving in a new city. He came from the airport and took the airport express train to come to the city. He has a meeting next morning, thus the evening is free.

Challenges

• privacy, access to user profile
• mobile environment ("always online")
• context description - what is really my content (automatic, learning profile)
• non-intrusive messages

Topics

• "background" recommender system
• "context and preference learning" system (Philips: assume a 200 GByte hardisk on a STB, and 15 dedicated recordings will provide you with 95% of your viewing time)
• Protege, creates ontology. Ontology (.owl) describes through semantics the preferences, context, ....
• JavaAPI to access ontologies directly from programs
• Reasoner for decision making

Objectives

Main focus will be on the context-sensor, contributing to a distributed user profile. Depending on the context, different informaiton is provided to the public space, to friends/colleagues and sensitive information is kept in the mobile.

• Create a state-of-the-art review on potential middleware
  • include MUSIC, ...
  • semantic technologies for knowledge management (profiles, context) - ontologies

• interface to LinkedOpenData, OData or "Tripple Store" (RDF)

• Adopt an architecture

TOC

Title page, abstract, ...

1. Introduction, containing: short intro into the area, what is happening

1.1 Motivation, containing: what triggered me to write about what I'm writing about

1.2 Methods, containing: which methods are you using, how do you apply them

2. Scenario, optional chapter for explaining some use cases

one main scenario, and applicability of others; what is the outcome of the scenario ("switching action", display information, ...)

2.1 user scenario, (bad name, needs something bedre)

2.2 Requirements/Technological challenges

3. State-of-the art/Analysis of technology, structure your content after hardware/SW (or other domains). Describe which technologies might be used to answer the challenges, and how they can answer the challenges. Here: Middleware for bindling the moduls together. Focus on engine, Web or mobile?
