Abstract
The context helps service providers to perform their works properly even if the user’s request has implicit meanings. The context of service can be viewed as the situation of the environment which is related to the service’s execution. In order to provide such autonomous and intelligent service, the provider needs to be aware of the context by sensing the environment. In this sensing process, the conflicts can happen. One of the origins of these conflicts is the discord of the sensing data’s meaning that is used for recognizing the context by different providers. This difference can cause the conflict in providing services such as keeping the music or keeping the serenity of the space. In this paper, we propose a conflict resolution method by unifying these semantic discards of sensed data. This unified meaning can keep the multiple services from recognizing the environment differently.
