Abstract
The capability of context-awareness is indispensable in developing a SmartShadow system. However, there are many challenges to be covered, such as context acquisition, context modeling, context reasoning, and context distribution and utilization. This chapter proposes a new scheme to address these challenges. A three-layer context model is presented to represent various contexts, A context service infrastructure is established to provide large-scale environmental context services toward integration of cyber-physical space. A context-driven rule inference is proposed to make systems adaptive to ever-changing contexts.
