SOUPA: standard ontology for ubiquitous and pervasive applications

Abstract:
We describe a shared ontology called SOUPA - standard ontology for ubiquitous and pervasive applications. SOUPA is designed to model and support pervasive computing applications. This ontology is expressed using the Web ontology language OWL and includes modular component vocabularies to represent intelligent agents with associated beliefs, desires, and intentions, time, space, events, user profiles, actions, and policies for security and privacy. We discuss how SOUPA can be extended and used to support the applications of CoBrA, a broker-centric agent architecture for building smart meeting rooms, and MoGATU, a peer-to-peer data management for pervasive environments.

1. Introduction

Pervasive computing is a natural extension of the existing computing paradigm. In the pervasive computing vision, computer systems will seamlessly integrate into the life of everyday users, providing them with services and information in an “anywhere, anytime” fashion. We believe in this open and dynamic environment, intelligent computing entities must be able to share knowledge, reason about their en-vironment, and interoperate.
