A Survey of Context Modeling for Pervasive Cooperative Learning

Context represents a fundamental issue in research into pervasive and cooperative computing applications. This paper presents a survey on context modelling issues, together with a discussion on approaches to context modelling in intelligent context-aware pervasive systems. There is a parametric evaluation of the approaches considered, the conclusion drawn being that ontology-based modelling approach represents the optimal approach. The paper concludes with potential directions for future work.
