emergent application integration of ubiquitous information systems (ubis)
UUbiquitous information systems (UBIS) extend current Information System thinking to explicitly differentiate technology between hardware devices and software components with relation to people and process. Adapting content to support specific user actions in context is an ongoing topic of research. Approaches typically focus on providing mechanisms to improve specific information access and transcoding but not on how the information can be discovered and accessed in a dynamic, ad-hoc manner. This paper explores how a number of banking systems can be modelled using the Web ontology language and re-used to provide the invisibility of pervasive access; uncovering more effective architectural models for adaptive information system strategies of this type. A proof-of-concept intelligent middleware architecture is built to further test and explore how human-devices-application connections can be made sporadically and not limited to pre-configured access to specific applications and data.
