Conflict Resolution Model Based on Weight in Situation Aware Collaboration System

Abstract

In ubiquitous environments, situation-awareness is a desirable property to support adaptive and personalized services. To describe situation-awareness effectively, a situation-aware interface description language (SA-IDL) which can express a collaboration system with various contexts and actions is researched. However, conflicts can occur when services expressed in SA-IDL collaborate with each other, though each service does not make any errors. This is because each service is described with requirements for each one. So, in order to provide situation-aware services without inconsistency, conflicts among services should be identified and resolved. In this paper, we propose a mathematical modeling of SA-IDL to identify the conflicts among situation-aware services, and suggest conflict resolution graph model to identify the services which occur the conflicts. Also we proposed the resolution algorithm based on weight.

Conflict and Interference Resolution for Physical Annotation Systems

“…There is much work on conflict techniques and policies [9][10][11]. All previous research is focused on pervasive computing in general.…”

Perception framework for supporting development of context‐aware web services

“…Various conflict resolution mechanisms have been suggested. For instance, Park et al (2005) considered conflict resolution as a minimization problem, Chae et al (2007) suggested to use a weight-based resolution algorithm in conflict graph model, Capra et al (2003), in their turn, proposed a microeconomic sealed-bid auction mechanism. Robustness and consistency support are necessary to have a stable system.…”

Effective Appliance Selection by Complementary Context Feeding in Smart Home System

“…Especially, to solve interoperability problem between devices in their working, interface definition languages were presented in [4], [5], [6]. To make a decision for whether to be a particular situation or not from a given context set, it uses rule based determination (i.e.…”

“…Context is any instantaneous, detectable, and relevant condition of the environment or the device. Situation aware interface definition language (SA-IDL [4], [5]) is a tool to materialize and utilize the situation awareness concept. SA-IDL consists of context tuple, action tuple and derived context as Table 1 [6].…”
