Abstract

This paper suggests an adaptive service model designed for a context based home environment. This model is based on a ubiquitous home environment that consists of numerous sensors, devices, measuring equipment and common interfaces provided for interoperability. Furthermore, this model provides context information requested under applied services. In order to deal with these service requirements, this paper suggests a software structure based on the distributed object group framework for context based adaptive services in ubiquitous home environments. This context information is modeled under an ontology categorized as distinguishable characters of a home environment. Finally, we show the structure of the system with application services based on it.
