For a hospital environment can be called as "pervasive", it requires that all the entities that are present in this context (like people and equipment) are sinchronized to perform the daily common tasks. Inside these environments, the computational devices should be considered tools to access information and, therefore, they shouldn't be the focus of attention of the professional. Thus, they should be used naturally. For the system to behave in such a way, it is necessary that it adapts itself to the users contexts. One of the most indicated ways to represent these contexts is through ontologies, due to the great expressivity that they allow. However, environments such as proposed require an extremely dynamic system to represent the context in a coherent manner with the changes in this environment, because their professionals encounter a frequent changing of shifts and tasks in which they work with diferent patients and information from diferent sources. To this end, this dissertation proposes an architecture for a hospital pervasive that seeks to provide all the features mentioned above.
