Knowledge Management Framework for Ubiquitous Systems

Ubiquitous systems once a dream is now becoming a reality. There are various approaches for designing and implementing these systems, and plenty of systems already available but all these efforts are not following any rigorous approach to knowledge management. Knowledge management in general is a well-settled field and has been a proven concept in many areas of computer application. The knowledge management strategies yet not been applied in ubiquitous systems hence majority of systems suffer from general performance issues. In ubiquitous systems, user plays a very vital role and the specific trait of knowledge management is to support the very same user. In this paper we discuss the technical challenges arises from ad hoc data management that can limit the flexibility, scalability and performance of ubiquitous systems. We also suggest a knowledge management framework, which can be used to build scalable ubiquitous systems in term of knowledge processing and at the same time can be use for verifying and comparing concepts and system architectures of ubiquitous systems
