Context-Aware Decision Support in Socio-Cyberphysical Systems: From Smart Space-Based Applications to Human-Computer Cloud Services

摘要

Context-aware decision support is required in situations taking place in dynamic rapidly changing and often unpredictable distributed environments. Such situations can be characterized by highly decentralized up-to-date data sets arriving from various resources located in socio-cyberphysical systems. Systems of this class tightly integrate heterogeneous resources of the physical world and IT (cyber) world together with social networking concepts. The paper addresses context-aware decision support in agent-based environments for smart space-based systems and human-computer cloud services. The application of the proposed decision support methodology is demonstrated on an e-tourism domain, particularly, via a connected car-based e-tourism system.
