Ontology Based Context Model Yingyi Bu NjuIcs
What is Context? • Any information that can be used characterize the situation of an entity, where an entity can be a person, place, or physical or computational object • Context is computer’s view of real world situations.
Research Intentions • Mapping Contexts in Real World to Contexts in Computers Exactly or Approximately • Discovering Implicit Contexts • Sharing Contexts among Heterogeneous Software Entities
Chanllenges • Uniform Context Representation • Context Fusion • Context Caching and Update Scheme • Activity Recognition • Goal Recognition • Adaptive Behaviors • ……
Context Modeling Approach • Key-Value • XML • Object • ER-UML • Ontology • Graph
Ontology Based Context Model • Why? • Unifying context representation, 5-tuples or 8-tuples • Reasoning high-level implicit contexts • Facilitating Conflict Detection • Easy for sharing • Unifying Query Mechanism
Ontology Based Context Model • What? • Ontology • Persistent Contexts • Dynamic Contexts • Ontology Reasoning and Rule Reasoning
Ontology Based Context Model • Case • Byy locateIn Room506 -> Byy locateIn MMW • Byy talkTo Txp, Txp talkTo Xxm -> Byy talkTo Xxm • Byy talkTo Txp -> Txp type Person • Byy locateIn Room506, Byy talkTo Txp, Byy near Desk -> Byy giveLecture Room506
Ontology Based Context Model • Implementations: • Ontology construction: OWL on Protégé. • Reasoning and conflict detection: Jena2.2
Ontology Based Context Model • Roles • Raw Context Provider • Context Service • Context Consumer
Ontology Based Context Model • Query • RDQL language: • Select ?x where (?x giveLecture ?y), (?x type Student), (?x locateIn MMW)
Benifits • Fusing Context Formally • Detecting Conflict Easily • Querying contexts easily
Drawbacks • Time-consuming • Dynamic context management
Future Work • ER Graph-based Context Model • Sensor-based Activity Recognition • Segmentation of Sensed Data • Semi-supervised learning • Anomaly Detection Algorithms for Healthcare • Learning-based Adaptive Behaviors
