Abstract
- Service oriented access in a multi-application, multi-access network environment is faced with the problem of cross-layer interoperability among technologies. In this demo, we present a knowledge base (KB) which contains local (user terminal specific) knowledge that enables pro-active network selection by translating technology specific parameters to higher-level, more abstract parameters. We implemented a prototype which makes use of semantic technology (namely ResearchCyc) for creating the elements of the KB and uses reasoning to determine the best access network. The system implements technology-specific parameter mapping according to the IEEE 802.21 draft standard recommendation.
