Abstract
We have used most recent advances in the fields of artificial intelligence (knowledge representation), mobile computing and networking to develop the AINGERU system that provides a new kind of tele-assistance service for elderly people. The new features incorporated over the traditional tele-assistance are: high quality monitoring, anywhere and anytime. In this paper we focus on the high quality aspect and, more precisely, we present the role that two specific ontologies play and the advantages that they provide to the system. One ontology describes domain knowledge and the other one describes the operational model of the system.
