The main motivation of this paper is to integrate the semantic matching capability into the pervasive computing environments. In this context, we have developed an environment that provides a semantic matching based information gathering capability for mobile users. An important feature of the developed environment is its domain independence. Domain independence is realized by first transferring the concepts of a specific domain's ontology in XML format from the server to the mobile device, and then parsing that XML file for dynamically creating a visual interface, using which users can enter requests. The generic design of the semantic matching engine also contributes to domain independence, since a generic matching engine can accept inputs and return outputs using concepts from any ontology. To show the effectiveness of the architecture, a case study was implemented in a campus area. In this case study, mobile users can find closest places to reside or eat something. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
