Abstract
Ubiquitous Computing is required to define models for broad context information occurrence by surrounding environment and to study how to model a mechanism for selectively collecting useful pieces of context information and providing relevant intelligent services. Further, studies are also required as to process of context information, and its maintenance and reasoning. However, current context-aware research area still lacks modeling technique that reflects the characteristics of ontology effectively for providing relevant intelligent services. It has also limitation about context reasoning and interoperability among context information. Therefore, this paper proposes ontology-based context-aware modeling technique and framework enabling efficient specification of context information for providing intelligent context-aware services that support context management and reasoning.
