Ontological Approach to Personalized Situational Planning: Concept and Scenarios

In this paper we examine the planning scenarios based on a variety of possible use cases, when the plans are not fixed and depend on some previewed (but not yet strictly planned) activities. We analyze the notification features of modern smart devices and the approaches that may be helpful in developing mobile tools supporting situation-based soft planning. We describe a conceptualization of personalized deferred activity planning process based on subject domain ontology models and give some examples illustrating the applicability of this concept to designing the personalized planning components of traveler-centric applications with respect to a number of practical real-life stories.
