Hybrid reasoning context platform

With the rapid adoption of GPS enabled smart phones and the fact that users are almost permanently connected to the Internet, an evolution is observed towards applications and services that adapt themselves based on the user’s context, for example taking into account personal interests, location or presence information. To facilitate the development of such new intelligent applications, new enabling platforms are needed to collect, distribute and exchange context information. An important aspect of such platforms is the derivation of new, high-level knowledge by combining different types of context information using reasoning techniques. To address these challenges we developed CASP, a Context Aware Service Platform that takes care of the aggregation and abstraction of context information using ontologies for representing the information.
