Abstract

The background for this work lies in the visions of ubiquitous systems and semantic web. To realize this vision in embedded domains we have implemented an interoperability platform called Smart-M3, which allows sharing of RDF information. In this paper we investigate integrating reasoning capabilities to this platform for solving problems arising from resource allocation and conflict resolution under preferences in dynamic context sensitive environments. Additional goals for our work is to take into account requirements for efficiency, scalability and localized reasoning. For this we are investigating Answer Set Programming (ASP) techniques in particular. We present an integration framework for using an ASP solver Smodels with Smart-M3 and we demonstrate its use within a use case. Both the framework and the rules described in this paper are available for trial.
