Paper Abstract:
|
The Situated Ubiquitous Network (SUN) project aims at offering a seamless mobility and service continuity in the Internet of Things connected by Radio (IoTcR). This revolutionary concept has emerged in a context of the democratization of smart users equipment and the perpetual miniaturization of such devices. The purpose of IoTcR is to connect the world's equipment in order to collect data about things and to embed intelligence as well. This paper presents an innovative approach, based on the autonomic paradigm, to address the user mobility and service continuity issues in a context of heterogeneity that characterizes IoTcR. Our contribution deals with the design of a distributed knowledge plane consisting of information models and ontologies that unifies the vocabulary shared between Things, drives decisions and provides increased analysis and inference capabilities. As a part of this effort, we have designed an ontology that gathers the main information for anticipating handovers and preventing Quality of Service degradation. Our proposal is based on a multi-agent approach, which fits with the autonomic principles adopted in the SUN project. |
