A Layered Model for User Context Management with Controlled Aging and Imperfection Handling
نویسنده
چکیده
Current research in context-awareness is biased toward low-level context information. High-level context information, however, poses several challenges to context management systems, which can be traced back to the asynchronicity of context acquisition and use and the inherent dynamics and imperfection in that process. This paper presents a three layer model allowing for dealing with the problems of imperfection and aging in a controlled way. It conceives the problem of high-level user context management as an information management problem with specific requirements.

Ontology-Based User Context Management: The Challenges of Imperfection and Time-Dependence
Robust and scalable user context management is the key enabler for the emerging contextand situation-aware applications, and ontology-based approaches have shown their usefulness for capturing especially context information on a high level of abstraction. But so far the problem has not been approached as a data management problem, which is key to scalability and robustness. The specific challen...
متن کاملManagement of Dynamic and Imperfect User Context Information
In high-volume information systems, there is a trade-off between ease of querying and selectivity of the query (and thus relevance of the result set). This can be overcome by incorporating user context information into the interaction. But user context information is hard to acquire due to its dynamic nature and the approximative methods. This thesis work proposes a context model, which builds ...

Recommender systems are a branch of retrieval systems and information matching, which through identifying the interests and requires of the user, help the users achieve the desired information or service through a massive selection of choices. In recent years, the recommender systems apply describing information in the terms of the user, such as location, time, and task, in order to produce re...

Globally, aging populations are driving the demand for long-term care (LTC) services for a growing number of older people with disabilities or chronic illnesses. A key challenge for policy-makers in all countries is to find a comprehensive solution to financing LTC services to make them widely accessible, affordable, and equitable for all in need. In this commentary, we...
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...
