Internet of Things; Engineering Cyber Physical Human Systems invites manuscript submission in the area of Context-aware Computing for the Internet of Things
Introduction/Overview
We’re currently shifting from the Information Age to the Intelligence Age. The Intelligence Age will be characterized by autonomous communication between intelligent devices that are sensitive to a person’s presence and respond by performing a specific task that enhances that person’s lifestyle.
In this perspective, the Internet of Things envisages a plethora of heterogeneous objects interacting with people, with other objects and the physical environment.
Thingsare able to sense a user’s presence, movement and behavior, analyze that data in order to learn about that user, and then make an intelligent decision to perform a task based on the data.
Collection, modelling, reasoning, and distribution of context in relation to IoT sensor data plays critical role in this challenge and context-aware computing has proven to be successful in understanding sensor data.
Context-aware Computing for the Internet of Things paradigm is a very challenging research area and there is generally a deficiency to understand the suitable approaches to support this field.
The success of IoT systems and applications depends on the efficient integration of its devices, sensors and data management techniques.
