Abstract

Context is a rich concept that is mostly understood and used with different representations and interpretations in many different fields. This variety of usage adds both richness and vagueness, thus creating more complexity to comprehension, interpretation, and reasoning with contexts. As pervasive computing technology becomes more and more intrusive there is a need to construct formally verifiable context-aware computing environment, in which human dignity is preserved through safety, security, and privacy. These features cannot be ensured unless context notion is formalized, both in representation and reasoning. Motivated by this concern this paper introduces a formal context representation and a context calculus which can be used to build context models for many applications.
