Abstract
With computing becomes more and more ubiquitous, it leads to the highly dynamic and complex computing environments. In this new computing circumstance, the need for novel middleware is widely recognized. Especially, applications should be more context-aware and based on the lightweight middleware infrastructure. In this paper, we present ScudWare, an efficient context-aware and adaptive middleware for ubiquitous computing in smart vehicle space. ScudWare is based on smart OSEK OS, ICAR hybrid network and TinyORB. Its main property is context-aware service based on ontology, which can gather, manage, and disseminate context information for applications easily. Using ScudWare ontology, we can easily tackle issues, such as wide variations in information quality. In addition, we bring forward further discussion of the smart vehicle space in ubiquitous computing environments.
