Group Situation based Cooperation Model

Traditionally, the cooperation system has been exploited in various businesses and applications. Furthermore there are increasing demands for cooperation system to provide intelligent services by cooperating between smart objects in ubiquitous environment. To correspond with these demands, this paper proposes a group situation based cooperation model to design and implement cooperation systems. We introduce some concepts to formulate the group situation and cooperation model. The group situation is an aspect of cooperative group which is consisted of active objects, and cooperation between objects is defined on a particular situation. Each object in a cooperative group cooperates with others according to the situations. To verify the proposed model, finally, we provide examples using proposed model with feasible scenarios in ubiquitous environment.
