A hybrid ZigBee/Bluetooth approach to mobile semantic grids

Abstract

Mobile semantic grids are characterized by high heterogeneity and volatility of their component nodes. Hence, discovery procedures more flexible than the ones borrowed from wired approaches are desirable. We present a hybrid ZigBee/Bluetooth grid infrastructure where Knowledge Representation techniques and technologies have been exploited to perform a capillary data dissemination, to interconnect the user with interface nodes and to perform an advanced resource discovery. A case study is reported along with experimental results on a prototype implementation.
