A Multilayered Uncertainty Model for Context Aware Systems1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Context-aware systems typically use data sensed from the environment to drive adaptive behaviour. Sensed data is inherently imprecise and uncertain; in addition, new uncertainties are introduced when sensed data is fused with other data to infer context at the more abstract level of situations. We present an uncertainty model which aggregates context uncertainty and provides mechanisms to capture uncertainty at situation level. We demonstrate the application of the model in a sample scenario using an experimental data set.

A semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...
متن کاملContext-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...
متن کاملMaintaining Continuous Dependability in Sensor-Based Context Aware Pervasive Computing Systems1
Sensors are often indicative of events of interest, or events which a system should be aware of and should react to. In particular, such indications may reflect unsteadiness or instability with respect to the current contextual situation. This paper discusses the concepts of stability and instability in context-aware systems, and suggests a model, methodology and an algorithm for real-time anal...
متن کاملCAMAC: a context-aware mandatory access control model
Mandatory access control models have traditionally been employed as a robust security mechanism in multilevel security environments such as military domains. In traditional mandatory models, the security classes associated with entities are context-insensitive. However, context-sensitivity of security classes and flexibility of access control mechanisms may be required especially in pervasive c...
متن کاملA context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...
