Future Challenges in Context-aware Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Context-awareness is the ability of computing systems to acquire and reason about the situational context and adapt application accordingly. Context-aware system start with gathering of raw, low-level contextual data, interpret the raw contextual data into high-level interpreted context, reason the interpreted context to derive implications and adapt the application behaviour on the basis of the implications. This article identifies the research challenges in context-aware computing and elaborates the context-aware process with the issues in each stage. Some of the current application domains of context-aware computing are also listed.

A semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...
متن کاملA context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...
متن کاملCAMAC: a context-aware mandatory access control model
Mandatory access control models have traditionally been employed as a robust security mechanism in multilevel security environments such as military domains. In traditional mandatory models, the security classes associated with entities are context-insensitive. However, context-sensitivity of security classes and flexibility of access control mechanisms may be required especially in pervasive c...
