Abstract:

With the rapid development of information technology, many information systems have been implemented in the mine industry in recent decades. However, the usage of current information services is limited, which are only accessible to managers for making decision. The majority of miners can hardly access these information services timely in order to prevent hidden risks. To address this challenge, a framework for building the contextaware intelligent service system for coal mine industry is proposed. This system includes four major components: context information collecting, context information reasoning, service configuration and invocation. For the sake of meeting the demands of the end miners, the proposed system takes full advantage of the legacy information systems, realizes more comprehensive interoperability and provides more intelligent business service & composition. In the end, the process of building service systems and the effect of implementing contextaware services are elaborated through testing the system in a simulated environment and various potential problems are also discussed.
