Abstract
Ubiquitous computing is more complex and dynamic than distributed computing and mobile computing because of its pervasiveness. This paper pre-sents a context infrastructure to provide the semantic interoperability of context in a ubiquitous computing environment. In addition, we explore the web ser-vices approach to support interaction interoperability between the components of the context infrastructure on heterogeneous platforms. First, we develop con-text ontology- Entity, contextType, and Value - for providing semantic interop-erability of context. Then, we suggest a context infrastructure using the web services for interaction interoperability. We also explain context reasoning and evaluate the performance of the context infrastructure.
