Abstract
With the recent advent of mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet PCs, everyone wants to receive personalized service and control the environment using a mobile device (i.e., ubiquitous computing). To fulfill this requirement, the necessary, key technology is situation awareness. Today, ontology-models are widely used for representing and constructing the information of a situation. However, the existing approaches to developing ontology models lack considerations for situation awareness and the design of rule sets that can be used to infer the nature of a situation. In this paper, we propose a methodology to creating an ontology and rule set for mobile situation-aware software. This methodology is based on the proposed ontology, namely, Core Ontology for Mobile (COM). This approach enables us to develop and create the necessary ontology and rule set for mobile situation-aware software in a systematic and simplified manner.
