Abstract:
This paper presents a conceptual model for context representation and processing tasks. It describes an extendable, ontology-based approach for context representation. Instead of monolithic, single purpose, context processing solutions, the authors suggest a generic approach to define contexts, their processing and refinement to high-level, problem-oriented states. Our approach intends to enhance reusability and general applicability.
