Framework of Ambient Intelligence System for Smart Agri-food Management

This paper discusses the issue of ambient intelligence system for agri-food application. A framework for agri-food supply chain management is designed with context awareness support. The context ontology of main elements including user, environment, service and platform, are modeled and discussed in detail. A system materialization case for warehouse management has been shown including the devices, functionality and relevant procedures. The implementation case applied in agri-food warehouse management is introduced with the details about its design and systematic materialization from devices to network system. Considering safety in management involved with authentication, secure context-aware strategy is designed with jointly mutual authentication to guarantee the information security for interaction with the management procedures.
