[about.CoBrA]

Context Broker Architecture (CoBrA) is an agent based architecture for supporting context-aware systems in smart spaces (e.g., intelligent meeting rooms, smart homes, and smart vehicles). Central to this architecture is an intelligent agent called context broker that maintains a shared model of context on the behalf of a community of agents, services, and devices in the space and provides privacy protections for the users in the space by enforcing the policy rules that they define.

Key differences between CoBrA and other similar architectures are the following:

  • CoBrA uses the Web Ontology Language OWL, a W3C Semantic Web standard, to define ontologies of context (people, agents, devices, events, time, space, etc.). In other systems, context is often implemented as programming language objects (e.g., Java classes), lacking the expressive power to support context reasoning and high-level knowledge sharing.
  • CoBrA provides a resource-rich context broker to maintain a shared model of context for all computing entities in an associated space. In other systems, individual entities are usually required to manage their own contextual knowledge.
  • CoBrA allows the users to define privacy policy to control the sharing and the use of their situational information (e.g., where they are, who they are with, what they are doing). In other systems, the computing entities are usually free to share any acquired situational information of a user.

Figure 1 shows an overview architecture diagram of CoBrA. For more information, please see the documents listed in the paper section.

Thanks Danny!

Le gal Services + Social Networking.... Posted Feb 27, 2004, 12:17 PM ET by Judith Meskill

Demir Barlas writes that Miller & Chevalier, a Washington, D.C. law firm, has installed Interface Software’s Social Networking system to connect their ~120 lawyers and professionals. Not likely bedfellows but the utilization of Interface’s solution has, according to Sturgis Sobin, chairman of the international department of Miller & Chevalier, created new business: “In the past year, we’ve had a couple of instances where the software identified an existing relationship we’d never have been aware of otherwise,” says Sobin. “One of those engagements generated more than a million dollars in new business.” A most practical application of Social Networking Services [The Social Software Weblog]

Marc's bit....

Yet another example of social networking as a feature, not a stand alone market.  Maybe eventually hopefully like soon enough some day folks will stop trying to ask "how do you make money from social networking" and instead will say "what can I use social networking for?"

In other words - as danah likes to say - What's the Context?

Storage Resource Broker 3.3.1 (Default
branch)
04/08/2005 06:05 PM
The Storage Resource Broker is client-server middleware that provides a uniform interface for connecting to heterogeneous data resources over a network and accessing replicated data sets. It, in conjunction with the Metadata Catalog (MCAT), provides a way to access data sets and resources based on their attributes and/or logical names rather than their names or physical locations.
Changes:
The schema system has been replaced and is now extensible. Real-time and MDSPlus support has been added. HPSS support has been updated. Bugs in MCAT zones have been fixed. Compound objects now work correctly. Heavy loads now work under Mac OS X. Fixes for a number of other minor bugs.
