Abstract

Life cycle management plays an essential role in context-aware systems, it needs to aware surrounding contexts and adapt to changing contexts in highly dynamic environments. Consequently, context management is different from traditional approaches due to the characteristics of contextual information are dynamic, transient, and fallible. Understanding the life cycle of a context is the key issue to maintain consistent contextual information. Accordingly, we propose an ontology-based model for representing, deducing, and managing consistent contextual information. In addition, an agent-based architecture supports the process of context life cycle management.
