A Semantic-based Approach for Resource Discovery and Allocation in Distributed Middleware

This paper presents a knowledge-based approach for resource discovery, allotment and sharing in distributed pervasive scenarios. The proposed framework enables semantic-based resource retrieval exploiting non-standard inferences and a novel method for ontology dissemination and rebuilding. The approach can enhance any publish/subscribe message-oriented middleware. A prototype was implemented and tested to prove correctness of the approach and get early performance evaluation.
