Agent based context Acquisition Approach

The major attempt of pervasive computing is to reduce the required user effort in using applications in their surrounding by identifying and recognizing resources; and reacting automatically based on their interest. Spontaneous interaction of heterogeneous resources to achieve context awareness requires the identification of entities together with its description in smart space environment (such as location, status, capability, history, etc.). Once resources in smart space environment are identified; application developers can produce whatever pervasive application that is required in the daily life of the society. This research work deals with context acquisition, which is the bottom line for any pervasive computing application. Context acquisition is one of the challenging and most crucial phenomenons in pervasive computing. This research work, propose a novel approach of context acquisition by using agent technology.
