OBCAS: an agent-based system and ontology for mobile context aware interactions

Society is changing and technological advances provide mechanisms to facilitate the development of a large number of tasks in technical, humanities, health and social areas. Nowadays, application of the improvement of people’s quality of life is generating significant interest, giving birth to systems oriented to the supervision, care and help for people in the development of their daily affairs. Thus, we may assume that its application to the supervision of a specific group of people can improve the quality of life for many people. OBCAS implements a monitoring service through mobile devices capable of providing enough information for an intelligent system. The multi-agent component provides the intelligence for the system, allowing it to run the appropriate services by adjusting them to the user’s profile and preferences. AGATHA is an application based on OBCAS that provides an alarm service during a supervision process. AGATHA has been tested on the supervision of elderly and victims of gender violence, and the result shown in this paper has been satisfactory.
