A Context Quality Model to Support Transparent Reasoning with Uncertain Context
نویسندگان
چکیده
Much research on context quality in context-aware systems divides into two strands: (1) the qualitative identi cation of quality measures and (2) the use of uncertain reasoning techniques. In this paper, we combine these two strands, exploring the problem of how to identify and propagate quality through the di erent context layers in order to support the context reasoning process. We present a generalised, structured context quality model that supports aggregation of quality from sensor up to situation level. Our model supports reasoning processes that explicitly aggregate context quality, by enabling the identi cation and quanti cation of appropriate quality parameters. We demonstrate the e cacy of our model using an experimental sensor data set, gaining a signi cant improvement in situation recognition for our voting based reasoning algorithm.

Context-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...

متن کاملA Unified Context Model: Bringing Probabilistic Models to Context Ontology
Ontology is a promising tool to model and reason about context information in pervasive computing environment. However, ontology does not support representation and reasoning about uncertainty. Besides, the underlying rule-based reasoning mechanism of current context-aware systems obviously can not reason about ambiguity and vagueness in context information. In this paper, we present an ongoing...
متن کاملReasoning about Context in Uncertain Pervasive Computing Environments
Context-awareness is a key to enabling intelligent adaptation in pervasive computing applications that need to cope with dynamic and uncertain environments. Addressing uncertainty is one of the major issues in contextbased situation modeling and reasoning approaches. Uncertainty can be caused by inaccuracy, ambiguity or incompleteness of sensed context. However, there is another aspect of uncer...
