Abstract
Pervasive computing objective is to merge computing and computing applications into surroundings instead of having computers as discrete objects. Applications must adjust their behavior to every changing surroundings. Adjustment involves proper capture, management and reasoning of context. Context is represented in a hierarchical form and stored in an object relational database. Context is selected using heuristic pruning method in this paper. Semantic of the context and context data is handled by Object Relational Database. Allowing only limited amount of context data to the reasoning space improves the performance of the reasoning process.
