Abstract

Ontology engineering has been proposed as a formal mechanism for both reducing the complexity of managing the information needed in network management and autonomic systems and for increasing the portability of the services across homogeneous and heterogeneous networks. This section describes a formal mechanism to integrate context information into management operations for pervasive services.
