Abstract

A smart system with context-aware technology can dynamically coordinate heterogeneous distributed services according to various contexts in the physical world and cyberspace. Two technologies, context management and rule-based system, are important elements in developing context-aware applications, and these implementation technologies can reduce the manpower required for service development. FIWARE, an open-source context management platform, and Uni-messe, a rule-based event routing hub, are examples of previous research. This study explores an integrated architecture that connects Uni-messe and FIWARE. We first propose the overall structure of the integrated architecture. The coordination and behavior of the five modules that constitute the architecture are discussed. Finally, a demonstration service based on the proposed architecture is constructed and implemented, and the work processes required for development are discussed. By linking Uni-messe and FIWARE, the development of context-aware applications can be carried out efficiently.
