Item An Ontology Based Trust Framework for Sensor-Driven Pervasive Environment(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Karthik, N.; Ananthanarayana, V.S.Pervasive computing is an environment consisting set of sensor nodes with the characteristics of perception, computation and communication capabilities. Wireless sensor nodes are deployed in various pervasive computing applications to observe the happenings in the surroundings. Data gathered from such wireless sensor nodes are utilized for critical decision making in context-aware environment. The Frequent incorrect data sampling, missing values, untrustworthy data, misbehavior and selfishness of nodes are common in pervasive applications since they are deployed in unfriendly and harsh environment. Moreover, the increasing number of sensor node fabricator leads to interoperability problems in context aware pervasive applications because they are represented in different formats and processed using different techniques. In this paper, we propose an ontology based trust framework for sensor driven pervasive environment for evaluating node and data trustworthiness which suffers from heterogeneity and interoperability problems. The proposed approach is capable of handling all types of nodes in pervasive environment and heterogeneous data generated from harsh and unfriendly environments of context aware pervasive applications. The proposed method comprises of semantic sensor data model and an ontology which is written in OWL language and implemented in protege. The proposed ontology is validated against use case and used for finding the trustworthiness of different sensor nodes and its data using a generic TRUST ontology. © 2017 IEEE.Item Semantic web service selection based on service provider's business offerings(2009) D’Mello, D.A.; Ananthanarayana, V.S.Semantic Web service discovery finds a match between the service requirement and service advertisements based on the semantic descriptions. The matchmaking mechanism might find semantically similar Web services having same matching score. In this paper, the authors propose the semantic Web service selection mechanism which distinguishes semantically similar Web services based on the Quality of Service (QoS) and Business Offerings (BO). To realize the semantic Web service discovery and selection (ranking), we propose the semantic broker based Web service architecture which recommends the best match for the requester based on the requested functionality, quality and business offerings. The authors design the semantic broker which facilitates the provider to advertise the service by creating OWL-S service profile consisting information related to functionality, quality and business offerings. After the service advertisement, the broker computes and records matchmaking information to improve the performance (service query time) of discovery and selection process. The broker also reads requirements from the requester and finds the best (profitable) Web service by matching and ranking the advertised services based on the functionality, capability, quality and business offering.
