Rule-Based Context Assessment in Smart Cities

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNISA,volume 7497)

Abstract

This paper presents a rule-based architecture that enables causal and temporal reasoning of events and supports their relevance assessment given the user’s situation, in order to provide contextualized services for citizens inhabiting a smart city. Our approach for context reasoning and assessment is illustrated by emergency scenarios.
