A weighted approach for optimised reasoning for pervasive service discovery using semantics and context

There is an increased imperative for pervasive service discovery architectures, to aid mobile users for time critical tasks in service rich ad-hoc environments. As such, there is a need for an innovative technology for semantically-driven pervasive service discovery by enabling semantic reasoning engines to function in an effective and efficient manner on resource-constrained mobile devices and by incorporating contextawareness to provide relevant services to the user. We outline several optimisation and branch ranking strategies for pervasive reasoning to meet this goal and provide a performance evaluation of our approach.
