7Detecting Context Events

Abstract: Context information can be either low level (e.g., raw sensor data) or high level (e.g., posture and activity of a person). High-level context information can be inferred from low-level context information, and its semantics can be explicated through context events. Querying of high-level context information involves event detection from low-level context data. As a large portion of low-level context data sources are sensors, this chapter focuses on high-performance context event detection from sensory data coming as streams. Stream records indexing and condensed composition, magnified with parallel detection mechanisms, are discussed.
