Towards semantic modeling of intentional pervasive information systems

Abstract

A Pervasive Information System (PIS) provides a new vision of Information System (IS) that intends to make them available anytime and anywhere. PIS evolve in a space of services including physical ones embedded on the physical world, and logical ones representing traditional IS. However, this system should be modeled in such a way that enhances the transparency and efficiency of the system. Thus, we believe that a user-centric vision taking into account user's intention is needed to ensure an evolution with transparency in a frequently changing space. The objective of this paper is to propose a semantic modeling of an intentional PIS based on a semantic service description that considers both intention corresponding to the service and context in which it is supposed to be valid and executed.
