Context Models

Most of context models have limited capability in involving human intention for system evolvability and self-adaptability. Human intention in context aware systems can evolve at any time, however, context aware systems based on these context models can provide only standard services that are often insufficient for specific user needs. Consequently, evolving human intentions result in changes in system requirements. Moreover, an intention must be analyzed from tangled relations with different types of contexts. In the past, this complexity has prevented researchers from using computational methods for analyzing or specifying human intention in context aware system design. The authors investigated the possibility for inferring human intentions from contexts and situations, and deploying appropriate services that users require during system run-time. This chapter first focus on describing an inference ontology to represent stepwise inference tasks to detect an intention change and then discuss how context aware systems can accommodate requirements for the intention change.

Context Aware System

In the past few years, context-aware computing has become one of the most promising topics of ubiquitous (pervasive) computing where computers are integrated and vanish in the background of users everyday activities. A context-aware system is a ubiquitous system, which is able to adapt its behavior automatically according to the gathered context information. However, due to the increasing complexity and diversity of such systems, the modeling process has become a major challenge for the ubiquitous computing community. In order to address this critical issue, different bigraphical reactive systems based approaches have been proposed to ease the modeling of some aspects of context-aware systems. Therefore, this paper presents a study attempting to show how bigraphs work under these approaches, and to illustrate the efficiency of our proposed approach in terms of addressing various aspects of context-aware systems.

Context Aware System

Context aware systems are embedded in the environment and provide services anytime and everywhere. Context aware system is built upon context information gathered from the environment and the adaptation rule which describes what need to be performed for the context information gathered. Consistent behavior of the context aware system will be ensured by the complete and correct context information and adaptation rules. There may have a situation where conflicts may occur at context level and adaptation rule level. Many researchers presented different methods to detect and resolve conflict in context information level. In this work we proposed a procedure to detect and resolve conflicts in the adaptation. Two different types of conflicts are addressed in this work. We have discussed about the procedure to resolve these two types of conflicts in the adaptation rule.

Different Cell Types

Various types of intermediate-sized (10-nm) filaments have been found and described in many different cell types during the past few years. Despite the differences in the chemical composition among the different types of filaments, they all yield common structural features: they are usually up to several microns long and have a diameter of 7 to 10 nm; there is evidence that they are made of several 2 to 3.5 nm wide protofilaments which are helically wound around each other; the secondary structure of the polypeptides constituting the filaments is rich in ∞-helix. However a detailed description of their structural organization is lacking to date.
