Efficient Semantic Information Exchange for Ambient Intelligence

This paper studies semantic efficiency measures for ambient intelligence. We follow an agent-based approach and investigate how large quantities of information can be efficiently handled. We will show how to dynamically set up a communication network between agents which aims to minimize the communication load. The approach is based on a formal ontological notion of informativeness, on quantitative measures such as information gain and on the proper use of interaction mechanisms such as Publish/Subscribe. We also present experimental results which have been obtained using our prototyping tool called Ubismart.
