[en] CONTEXT MANAGER FRAMEWORK FOR SUPPORTING ADAPTIVE HYPERMEDIA SYSTEMS AND OTHER CONTEXT-AWARE APPLICATIONS / [pt] UM FRAMEWORK PARA GERÊNCIA DE CONTEXTO ORIENTADO A SISTEMAS HIPERMÍDIA ADAPTATIVOS

CLAUDIA SILVA VILLA ALVAREZ DE NORONHA ROLINS 28 June 2004 (has links)
[pt] A computação orientada a contexto (Context-Aware Computing) é um paradigma que se propõe a permitir que as aplicações descubram e tirem proveito das informações que as circundam em dado instante, tais como localização, recursos próximos, infra-estrutura disponível, preferências do usuário, além de outras. Muitas pesquisas realizadas nessa área estão focadas na computação móvel ou na computação ubíqua. Entretanto, mais recentemente, foi possível perceber que há vários aspectos que não estão apenas limitados ao universo da ubiqüidade e da mobilidade e que também podem beneficiar outros sistemas. Os sistemas multimídia/hipermídia mais completos devem apoiar todas as etapas que envolvem o tratamento de um documento, iniciando na sua concepção, abrangendo seu armazenamento e terminando com a apresentação do documento ao leitor (usuário final). Um requisito desejável desse tipo de sistema, em particular, diz respeito à presença de mecanismos que realizem a adaptação do documento, ou seja, que efetuem algum tipo de transformação para tornar o hiperdocumento o mais adequado ao contexto no qual ele estará sendo visualizado. Sistemas hipermídia dotados de estratégias de adaptação constituem um exemplo de aplicação orientada ao contexto. O objetivo desta dissertação é propor uma arquitetura de gerência de contexto, projetada e desenvolvida como uma estrutura independente e reutilizável por diferentes sistemas, em especial, os sistemas hipermídia. A arquitetura propõe um modelo para representação da informação contextual e uma estrutura genérica (framework) capaz de ser reutilizada e incorporada em diversas implementações. / [en] Context Aware Computing is a paradigm that allows applications to find and take profit from information that surrounds them at a given time, such as location, nearby resources, available infra-structure, user preferences, among others. Research in this area focuses on mobile or ubiquitous computing. However, recent research indicates that several aspects of this area are not limited to mobility and ubiquity. They can also profit from systems connected to other areas. Comprehensive multimedia/hypermedia systems must support all the phases of a document treatment. The treatment must encompass authoring, as well as storage and final presentation to the reader (end user). Particularly in this type of system, it is desirable to have tools that adapt the document, that is, tools that apply transformations to the hyper-document, making it adequate to the visualization. Hypermedia systems with adaptation strategies are an example of context-aware applications. The goal of this dissertation is to create a new architecture for context management: one architecture developed and built as an independent structure that may be reused by different systems, particularly by hypermedia systems. This architecture is based on a model of context information representation and on a recyclable framework that can be incorporated to several implementations.

Gestion de contexte pour l'optimisation de l'accès et l'adaptation des services sur des environnements hétérogènes / Context management for network access optimisation and services adaptation in heterogeneous environments

Loukil, Mehdi 20 December 2012 (has links)
Dans le domaine des TIC, les services de demain seront certainement basés sur des systèmes ubiquitaires, omniprésents et pervasifs. Ces systèmes devront prendre en considération différents paramètres provenant de l’environnement de l’utilisateur, c’est à dire son contexte. Le contexte de l’utilisateur peut être composé d’informations statiques ou dynamiques, objectives ou subjectives, quantitatives ou qualitatives. Il peut inclure des données telles que la localisation géographique, les caractéristiques du terminal utilisé, la température ambiante, l’humeur de l’utilisateur. Afin d’améliorer la QoS et la QoE, les services et les systèmes doivent être adaptés aux changements du contexte des utilisateurs. Le contexte doit donc être collecté et interprété et les règles d’adaptation du système doivent être définies. Sur les systèmes étendus, riches, dynamiques et hétérogènes, tels que ceux considéré dans le cadre de cette thèse, ces opérations doivent être automatisées. Vu la quantité et la complexité des données contextuelles à considérer, l’utilisation de la sémantique dans la gestion de contexte peut faciliter cette automatisation et ouvrir la porte au raisonnement et à l’adaptation automatiques. Aujourd’hui, peu de solutions viables existent pour cette problématique. Nous proposons alors d’utiliser et d’adapter des mécanismes et technologies provenant du web sémantique pour décrire et manipuler les informations de contexte. Dans un premier temps, nous avons proposé une méthodologie de conception qui nous permit de proposer « Ubiquity-Ont » : une ontologie générique au domaine des TIC, flexible et extensible. Les données de contexte ont alors été décrites sous forme de concepts et d’instances, reliés par des relations sémantiques. Nous avons ensuite proposé une architecture overlay, composée de deux niveaux de vitalisation et permettant d’intégrer un gestionnaire de contexte, basé sur la sémantique, sur des environnements réseaux et services. Cette solution overlay permet de (a) masquer l’hétérogénéité des composants du système et (b) d’augmenter virtuellement les entités du système existant par les capacités nécessaires à la manipulation et au raisonnement sur les données sémantiques du contexte. Nos propositions ont étés implémentées et testées sur une plateforme réelle et appliquées à deux cas d’études : Gestion de la mobilité sur des environnements de réseaux d’accès hétérogènes et Optimisation de la consommation d’énergie dans les terminaux mobiles / Future Information and Telecommunication Systems are expected to be pervasive and ubiquitous solutions, able to consider users’ context and to automatically adapt to their environments. Traditional configuration and management tools are not adapted. The richness, the heterogeneity and the complexity of the upcoming systems require automated solutions able to gather contextual information, to reason on them and to make the appropriate adaptation decisions. The representation and the sharing of contextual information is a key issue. In this thesis, we proposed and used a methodology to conceive « Ubiquity-Ont », a generic ontology dedicated to Information and Telecommunication Systems. Contextual information are the described through semantic concepts, instances and relations. We then proposed an overlay architecture, composed of two virtualization layers that can integrate a semantic context management framework over existing networking environments. This architecture is able (a) to hide any heterogeneity among the system components and (b) to augment the different entities with additional capacities for context gathering, reasoning and sharing operations. The proposed solutions were then implemented and tested in Lab for two applications. The fisrt is related to mobility management over heterogeneous Wireless Networks and the second aims to power optimization on mobile terminals. These two case studies helped in proving and enhancing the proposed solutions
