Abstract

Developing pervasive context-aware systems to construct smart space applications has attracted much attention from researchers in recent decades. Although many different kinds of context-aware computing paradigms were built of late years, it is still a challenge for researchers to extend an existing system to different application domains and interoperate with other service systems due to heterogeneity among systems This paper proposes a generic context interpreter to overcome the dependency between context and hardware devices. The proposed generic context interpreter contains two modules: the context interpreter generator and the generic interpreter. The context interpreter generator imports sensor data from sensor devices as an XML schema and produces interpretation scripts instead of interpretation widgets. The generic interpreter generates the semantic context for context-aware applications. A context editor is also designed by employing schema matching algorithms for supporting context mapping between devices and context model.
