Research

My principal research interests lie in the field of context-aware pervasive computing. I focus on building context modeling and reasoning using ontology. Currently, I am building the PlaceComm framework for building context-aware applications using multi-agent paradigm. In the framework, everything is mediated by agents. The core component object of the framework is the central Context Knowledge Base (CKB), that is not only shared and consumed by applications but also contributed and enriched by applications. The CKB is built using OWL-DL and stored in MySQL server, which can be accessed and manipulated via an agent using ProtegeOWL APIs.

For more details, please visit my project page: http://code.google.com/p/placecomm/

I am also interesting in applying multi-agent in pervasive computing.

My favorite platform is Jade (Telecom Italia), Jade/Leap

I have some experience on Jade/Leap on J2ME mobile devices. [Click here]

Recently, I suppervise two teams at University of Information Technology in Vietnam doing projects:

• • Egobile - Everything Goes On Mobile [Website], Egobile has won the first prize of the Student's Research Competition [Link]

  • Ubicam - Helping Your Computer Can See in Ambient Intelligent Environments [Website], Ubicam has won the second prize of the Student's Research Competition [Link]
