User-centric Integration of Contexts for A Unified Context-aware Application Model

Context-aware application models can provide personalized services to users through user-centric integration of contexts. Recently, several research activities on context integration have been reported. However, the existing research activities don’t consider much how contexts are integrated in a unified way. In this paper, we propose a unified method of user-centric integration of contexts for context-aware applications. The proposed method enables to extract the meaningful contexts based on each fusion procedure of 5W1H contexts. It integrates the formatted contexts through the user-centric classification. Also, it makes a decision by inferring user’s explicit intention based on the integrated context.
