N2 - In ambient environments, there coexist many different entities that collect, process, and change the available context information. Although they all share the same context, they face it from different viewpoints based on their perceptive capabilities, experiences and goals. Moreover, they are expected to use distinct vocabularies; they may even have different levels of sociality. This diversity raises additional research challenges in the study of Distributed Artificial Intelligence. In this paper, we present an algorithm for reasoning with distributed rule theories in an ambient setting. The algorithm models the participating agents as nodes in a peer-to-peer system, and considers the potential conflicts that may arise during the integration of the distributed theories taking into account some special characteristics of context knowledge and ambient agents.
