Abstract—The ubiquitous computing-also called pervasive computing-regroups the characteristics of mobile computing and the techniques of context-awareness that are flexible, adaptable, and capable of acting autonomously on behalf of users. However, the pervasive computing introduces a variety of software, hardware and users engineering challenges. The pervasive computing modeling is a new research area. Indeed, we are interested in purposing methodology for modeling pervasive systems. This paper provides an overview of proposed generic model of pervasive information system. We also propose an instantiation process to validate this generic model. The generic model validation is realized by two ways; manually and automatically. The last way is obtained by the creation of automatic system of OWL instantiation. This purposed generic model represents the highest level of abstraction. It only presents the general concepts of pervasive system.
