Abstract

A new context management framework, which supports the interaction between different domain context managers, is proposed. Two different context producer-consumer patterns are defined to support context-aware applications. To deal with the mobile entity problem in cross-domain context sharing, a transparent query mechanism that enables applications to obtain context information about mobile entities from remote domains is presented. The capability of our framework is demonstrated through a user scenario.
