Abstract

Reasoning in Ambient Computing environments requires formal models that represent ambient agents as autonomous logic-based entities, and support sharing and distributed reasoning with the available ambiguous context information. This paper presents an approach from the field of Multi-Context Systems that handles these requirements by modeling contexts as local rule theories in a P2P system and mappings through which the agents exchange context information as defeasible rules, and by performing some type of distributed defeasible reasoning.
