Intelligent Context-Aware System Architecture in Pervasive Computing Environment

Abstract

In this paper, we design an intelligent system architecture for dealing with context-aware application services in pervasive computing environment. The context-aware intelligent system architecture is composed of middleware, context server, and client. The middleware component of our intelligent system architecture plays an important role in recognizing a moving node with mobility by using a Bluetooth wireless communication technology as well as in executing an appropriate execution module according to the context acquired from a context server. The context server functions as a manager that efficiently stores into the database server context information, such as user's current status, physical environment, and resources of a computing system. To verify the usefulness of our context-aware intelligent system architecture, we finally develop a context-aware application to provide users with a music playing service in pervasive computing environment.
