Abstract

In ubiquitous environments, the resources must be shared so that they can be accessed anywhere and anytime. In this sense, the process of resource discovery plays an important role. This paper presents the EXEHDA-SD (EXEHDA-Semantic Discovery), a mechanism for resource discovery in ubiquitous computing. This mechanism combines in its architecture technologies for semantic processing of resources requests. This way, we intend to increase the expressiveness of the resource representation and query. The mechanism also provides the dynamics with which resources enter and leave the environment and include aspects such as scalability and user preferences.
