A Framework to Enable Two-Layer Inference for Ambient Intelligence

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 72))

Abstract

In this paper, we present a two-layer inference framework to enable Semantic Web technology-based intelligent functionalities in ambient environments.The basic idea is that the low level inference is performed on themobile devices capable of utilizing ontology, and only the high level inference is performed at the server side. This paper presents the design of this framework and illustrates its usability by a use case. The framework fully utilizes the computing capabilities of devices in the system and this way minimizes the communication among devices.
