Journal ArticleDOI
A survey of context modelling and reasoning techniques
Claudio Bettini,Oliver Brdiczka,Karen Henricksen,Jadwiga Indulska,Daniela Nicklas,Anand Ranganathan,Daniele Riboni +6 more
TL;DR: The requirements that context modelling and reasoning techniques should meet are discussed, including the modelling of a variety ofcontext information types and their relationships, of situations as abstractions of context information facts, of histories of contextInformation, and of uncertainty of context Information.
Journal ArticleDOI
A middleware infrastructure for active spaces
Manuel Roman,Christopher P. Hess,Renato Cerqueira,Anand Ranganathan,Roy H. Campbell,Klara Nahrstedt +5 more
TL;DR: Gaia exports services to query, access, and use existing resources and context, and provides a framework to develop user-centric, resource-aware, multidevice, context-sensitive, and mobile applications.
A middleware for context-aware agents in ubiquitous computing environments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that ubiquitous computing environments must provide middleware support for context-awareness, and they propose a middleware that facilitates the development of context-aware agents, allowing agents to acquire contextual information easily, reason about it using different logics and then adapt themselves to changing contexts.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A middleware for context-aware agents in ubiquitous computing environments
TL;DR: The middleware allows agents to acquire contextual information easily, reason about it using different logics and then adapt themselves to changing contexts, and is part of Gaia, the infrastructure for enabling Smart Spaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
An infrastructure for context-awareness based on first order logic
TL;DR: This paper proposes a model of context that is based on first order predicate calculus, which allows complex rules involving contexts to be written and enables automated inductive and deductive reasoning to be done on contextual information.
