Abstract
Context-awareness plays a vital role in pervasive computing. Context-aware applications relay on context information in order to provide appropriate and consistent adaptive services by integrating sensor data from a diverse range of sources with varying degree of accuracy, precision, dynamism, and are failure prone. Therefore, context information are inherently imperfect, they exhibit various types of uncertainties: incomplete, imprecise. vague, inconsistency, and/or temporal. Therefore context-aware applications must be supported by an adequate context information modeling and reasoning formalism.
