Abstract

A context model plays a significant role in developing context-Aware architectures and consequently on realizing context-Awareness, which is important in today's dynamic computing environments. These architectures monitor and analyse their environments to enable context-Aware applications to effortlessly and appropriately respond to users' computing needs. These applications make the use of computing devices intuitive and less intrusive. A context model is an abstract and simplified representation of the real world, where the users and their computing devices interact. It is through a context model that knowledge about the real world can be represented in and reasoned by a context-Aware architecture. This paper presents a Knowledge-intensive Context Model (KiCM). KiCM improves the existing context models by including knowledge about more entities that are essential for describing an occurrence of users' real context such as a meeting.
