ABSTRACT
|
| The proliferation of smart things and the subsequent emergence of the Internet of Things has motivated the deployment of intelligent spaces that provide automated services to users. Context-awareness refers to the ability of the system to be aware of the virtual and physical environment, allowing more efficient personalization. Context modelling and reasoning are two important aspects of context-aware computing, since they enable representation of contextual data and inference of high-level meaningful information. Context-awareness middleware systems integrate context modelling and reasoning, providing abstraction and supporting heterogeneous context streams. In this work, such a context-awareness middleware system is presented, which integrates a proposed context model based on an adaptation and combination of the most prominent context categorization schemata. A hybrid reasoning procedure which combines multiple techniques is also proposed and integrated. The proposed system has been evaluated in a real-case-scenario cultural space, which supports preventive conservation. The evaluation showed that the proposed system efficiently addressed both conceptual aspects in means of representation and reasoning and implementation aspects in means of performance.
