Pervasive Service Model: Using OWL-S to extend Service Model in OSGi Service Platform

Abstract

This paper proposes an approach to use OWL-based Web Service Ontology (OWL-S) to extend the original service model in the framework of Open Services Gateway Initiative (OSGi) as a new service model called Pervasive Service Model (PSM). This approach can help service providers to develop and provide integrated services by negotiating with various home services. It also allows user to execute and schedule daily tasks by using or combining existed home appliances and services. Except the system default scenarios, user now can develop and modify user-defined scenarios based on needs. What PSM will achieve is such a human-centric, flexible and integrated rich services environment applying to home.
