Context data management for mobile spaces

Abstract

Context-aware applications can monitor and detect the surrounding Context-aware applications can monitor and detect the surrounding situation changes of context entities, and adapt to these situations automatically. As context-aware applications can reside in mobile entities such as cars and mobile phone, an efficient context data management mechanism is required for mobile context-aware applications. In this paper, we propose a new mechanism to model and represent mobile entities. In addition, we also propose new system services to support mobile applications so that disruptions caused by mobility can be minimized. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
