Abstract

Enhancing the physical environment of users with IT and communication elements is one of the main objectives of the pervasive computing paradigm. The so-called “smart spaces”, which are typical pervasive computing environments, combine computing infrastructure with intelligent and context-aware services in order to advance the users' computing experience. In this paper we describe a metadata-based infrastructure that is required for delivering semantics-aware location-based services in smart spaces. This infrastructure involves geometric and ontological spatial representation as well as graph- and knowledge-based navigation algorithms.
