ADeSCoU: uma abordagem para o desenvolvimento de software para computação ubíqua

Abstract

This dissertation presents an approach to the software development in the Ubiquitous Computing, which instantiates the Rational Unified Process (RUP), based on Ontologies, Semantic Web Services, and Software Agents. Ontologies are employed to improve the description of the use context, enabling the applications to be context-aware. Semantic Web Services are used as software components distributed over the Internet, and are composed to perform complex tasks. Software Agents manages the applications using the Ontologies and the Semantic Web Services. A framework, called UBICK, was built to facilitate the design and the implementation of ubiquitous applications, based on components reuse. A case study illustrates the use of this approach in order to develop an Electronic Reflexive Portfolio in the medical education domain.
