Context Reasoning through a Multiple Logic Framework

Abstract

This work presents an implemented framework called Real Time Multi Logic Reasoner (RT-MLR) that aims to help a development of context-aware systems. RT-MLR has been designed combining the rule based method with the regular object-oriented architecture. RT-MLR has an inference engine that allows to express and merge knowledge through rules in three logic types: First-Order Logic, Fuzzy Logic and Temporal Logic. This engine works based on an event based approach, which supports a continuous monitoring of system domain. RTMLR has been exemplified base on its capability to perform context reasoning in a military application according to data fusion approach.
