Abstract

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is currently a perspective area of development intelligent systems that react on human presence, their behavior and AmI adapts to requirements based on contextual knowledge. The important issue in the study of AmI is thinking about context-aware preference. In the context of ubiquitous computing technologies there is not any access for users to the system at one point, but in different contexts. This creates need for context-sensitive preferences. The aim of context reasoning is getting new knowledge, so that systems or services were more intelligent. This process is not a trivial problem, so that we propose multidimensional view on context-aware knowledge for support of contextual reasoning. In this paper we introduce a new TCAP procedure for transformation context-aware preference through OLAP in the AmI. The OLAP technology enables us better analyzing contextual dependence on preferences and choosing relevant content for users in the AmI environment.
