Abstract

Context-awareness is an essential component of mobile and pervasive computing. It refers to the concept that an application understands its context, reason about its current situation, and provide relevant information and/or services to the users. One of the main challenges of context-aware distributed mobile computing is the dynamic adaptation to changes in the resource-bounded operating environment with user preferences. For example, a depersonalized context-aware application may exhibit behavior that is not anticipated by its user in a given situation. In this paper, we present a personalized preference model for resource-bounded context-aware applications, which provides support for the development and execution of context-aware applications using a declarative language. We implement a simple example system that demonstrates the effectiveness of the approach in a real-world scenario.
