文档介绍：Intimate Location Modeling for Context Aware Computing Mark t, Paul Prekop and Chris Rainsford Information Technology Division Defence Science and anisation Department of Defence, Fern Hill Park Canberra ACT 2600 AUSTRALIA {, , }***@ Abstract. This paper describes some of plexity that needs be captured in any location model of an intimate environment. We take the position that a location model for such an environment must be part of a wider framework for handling context that includes knowledge of people, devices and their communication abilities. We present an ontology based on a general object model of people and devices to deal with plexity of location modeling within an intimate environment and show how temporal events may be represented and reasoned with using standard modeling techniques based on time intervals. 1 Introduction Smart rooms and workspaces assist in the seamless integration of people with computers within a physical environment. Typically furnished worked puting devices and sensors, these rooms are designed to assist people in pursuit of everyday work goals such as finding information, collaboration with colleagues, and so on. Smart rooms are the subject of much research around the world, and a key enabler of smart rooms is the use of context awareness to link puting devices with users within their physical environment. Context can be simply defined as that which surrounds, and gives meaning to something else [1]. Within a smart room, context is what gives the room its understanding of the user, the user’s intention, the user’s task, and the physical environment the user is situated within. In most mobile, wearable and ubiquitous computing application, knowing the user’s location, absolutely, or relative to other parts of the environment is important for the seamless integration of people with puting devices within the physical environment [2]. Our interest in locati
