Summary
In the vision of ubiquitous computing, environments are populated by smart devices which adapt depending on the user context in order to meet user needs and look after them. Nevertheless, current devices describe their functionalities without taking into account context changes derived from service execution, making difficult the automation of the environmental behaviour. Thus, this work tries to cover the gap between services and context, and to integrate them by defining an ontological model for semantic representation based on effects and conditions.
