A Local Knowledge Base for the Media Independent Information System
Abstract
Service oriented access in a multi-application, multi-access network environment poses interesting research challenges. One of these challenges refers to cross-layer interoperability among technologies. In this paper we introduce a knowledge base (KB) which contains local (user terminal specific) knowledge that enables pro-active network selection. We implemented a prototype which makes use of semantic technology (namely ResearchCyc) for creating the elements of the KB: the ontology, the concepts, facts and rules. We show on a case study how this system can be exploited by the Media Independent Information System (MIIS) of the IEEE 802.21 protocol.
