Abstract

Research in the area of context-awareness has recently been revolutionized by the rapid development of mobile devices like smart phones and tablets, which became omnipresent in daily human life. Such devices are valuable sources of information about their user location, physical and social activity, profiles and habits, etc. However, the information that can be obtained is not limited to the hardware sensors that the device is equipped with, but can be extended to every sensor that is available in a communication range of a device. Although the concept of multiple sensors and devices, exchanging information and working together as one big pervasive system is not new, there is still a lot of research that has to be done to allow building such systems efficiently. In this paper the prototype of a rule-based inference engine for mobile devices is described and evaluated. The most important challenges connected with migration from desktop to mobile environment were defined, and a comparison of Prolog-based platforms, as a portable environments for mobile context-aware systems were presented. We consider implementation using a portable Prolog compiler on Android platform.

The research presented in this paper is carried out within the EU FP7 INDECT Project: ”Intelligent information system supporting observation, searching and detection for security of citizens in urban environment” (http://indect-project.eu).
