Abstract :
High-level context awareness can be significantly improved by the recognition of real-life situations. The theory of context spaces is a context awareness approach that uses spatial metaphors to provide integrated mechanisms for both low-level and high-level context awareness and situation awareness. Taking context spaces theory situation awareness as a baseline, we propose and analyze the enhanced situation awareness techniques, which allow us to reason about broad class of real-life situations. We also improve reasoning about the relationships between situations, and discuss how it relates to newly proposed situation awareness approaches. Practical evaluation of the results is also discussed.
