Representation of context information in highly adaptive applications
Highly adaptive context-aware applications need to represent information
on the status of the user and on the status of the application itself.
Based on this context information the application can trigger adequate
actions. Informal ad-hoc representations of context may turn out to be
too unflexible or do not allow to infer much about the user's situation.
The task for this project is to investigate ontology-based methods to
describe information in a context application, design own context
descriptions for the scenario of a real world application and finally
evaluate existing reasoning methods under the constraint of application
performance and other requirements. The application scenario is to be
tailored to the AvatR application. For more information on AvatR see
