Abstract
This paper presents a middleware based on SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) for context-awareness in a home network with ubiquitous computing. The context-awareness middleware addresses design issues such as heterogeneity, dynamicity, and extensibility issues of ubiquitous computing environment. We also suggest a context model supporting semantic level interoperability of context. In this paper, first we model context metadata ontology as well as context information ontology for the context-awareness middleware. Then we explain a service-oriented context-awareness middleware based on the context model which is introduced in this paper.
