Abstract Ubiquitous computing transforms physical environments into smart spaces, supporting users in an unobtrusive fashion. Such support requires sensing and interpreting the situation of the user, and providing the required functionality utilizing resources available. In other words, context acquisition, context modelling, and context reasoning are required. This thesis explores rule-based context reasoning from three perspectives: to implement the functionality of ubiquitous applications, to support the creation of ubiquitous applications, and to achieve self-adaptation. First, implementing functionality with reasoning is studied by comparing an application equipped with rule-based reasoning with an application providing similar functionality with hard coded application logic. The scalability of rule-based reasoning is studied with a large-scale student assistant scenario. Reasoning with constrained resources is explored with an application that performs reasoning partially on mobile devices. Finally, distributing a reasoning component that supports smart space interaction is explored with centralized, hybrid, and distributed architectures. Second, the creation of applications with rule-based reasoning is explored. In the first study, rules support building applications from available services and resources based on the instructions that users give via physical user interfaces. The second study supports developers, by proposing middleware that dynamically selects services and data based on the rules written by application developers. Third, self-adaptation is explored with a conceptual framework that adds self-introspective monitoring and control to smart space applications. This framework is verified with simulation and theoretical studies, and an application that fuses diverse data to provide fuel-efficient driving recommendations and adapts decision-making based on the driver’s progress and feedback. The thesis’ contributions include demonstrative cases on using rule-based reasoning from different perspectives, different scales, and with different architectures. Frameworks, a middleware, simulations, and prototypes provide the concrete contribution of the thesis. Generally, the thesis contributes to understanding how rule-based reasoning can be used in ubiquitous computing. The results presented can be used as guidelines for developers of ubiquitous applications.

▼ This thesis explores how people select and integrate information to guide inductive reasoning, with a focus on feature induction. Three separate (though related) key research questions are investigated. First, do people readily integrate multiple kinds of knowledge to guide induction? The focus is the integration of similarity-based knowledge across objects, and knowledge of causal relations between particular features. Past research has found conflicting results about whether people integrate both. This thesis explores whether these discrepancies can be explained by the apparent strength of the causal feature relations: people's inferences might reflect a compromise between information sources when the feature relations are probabilistic, but agree more with the feature relations when they are deterministic. Support for this hypothesis was found in a new experiment that manipulated causal strength. A comparison of the predictions of five probabilistic graphical models showed that a model that integrated both sources of information best accounted for people's inferences. This suggests that people were typically integrating the different information, sensibly taking causal strength into account. Second, does social context influence the use of category labels to guide feature induction? Do people assume that labels are particularly important cues for feature inferences? Therefore, do useful labels help adults to learn to predict new features more quickly (especially in a social context, with a human teacher) than do other equally predictive features? Experiments with adults typically have limited social context, but labels may seem more relevant when verbally presented by a person trying to teach new concepts. The results of two new category learning studies demonstrate that the extent to which labels have a unique influence on learning depends on the task's context: in a social context, people learn quickly regardless of whether a label or another feature is most informative. Nevertheless, when the task is not social, labels can aid learning more than other features that are most closely matched in terms of salience and prior knowledge. This last finding shows that labels can be treated as especially important cues to guide feature induction. Third, what information do people typically want to actively seek out, depending on the target feature being predicted? What seems to be the rationale behind their choices? In contrast to everyday reasoning, much of the existing research on feature induction both limits the amount of different information available to people, and may often suggest which information is relevant in virtue of the stimuli used. A new experiment provides a direct investigation of the types of information people freely choose to help predict different features. A relatively open task was used, with ten possible sources of information available. Using a biological domain, it was found that taxonomic or similarity-based information did not generally dominate people's inferences, as has been found with… Advisors/Committee Members: Navarro, Daniel Joseph (advisor), Dunn, John Cameron (advisor), Perfors, Amy Francesca (advisor), School of Psychology (school).

▼ Recommender systems support online customers by suggesting products and services of likely interest to them. Research in recommender systems is now starting to recognise the importance of multiple selection criteria and the role of customer context in improving the recommendation output. This thesis investigates the inclusion of criteria and context information in the recommendation process. Firstly, a novel technique for multi-criteria recommendation is proposed. It assumes that some selection criteria for an item (product or a service) will dominate the overall rating, and that these dominant criteria will be different for different users. Following this assumption, users are clustered based on their criteria preferences, creating a “preference lattice”. The recommendation output for a user is then based on ratings by other users from the same or nearby clusters. Secondly, a context similarity metric for context aware recommendation is presented. This metric can help improve the prediction accuracy in two ways. On the one hand, the metric can guide the aggregation of the feedback from similar context to improve the prediction accuracy. This aggregation is important because the recommendation generation based on prior feedback by similar customers reduces the quantum of feedback used, resulting in a reduction in recommendation quality. On the other hand, the value returned by the context similarity metric can also be used to indicate the importance of the context information in the prediction process for a context aware recommendation.The validation of the two proposed techniques and their applications are conducted in the service domain because the relatively high degree of user involvement attracts users to provide detailed feedback from multiple perspectives, such as from criteria and context perspectives. In particular, hotel services and web services areas are selected due to their different levels of maturity in terms of users’ feedback. For each area, this thesis proposes a different recommendation approach by combining the proposed techniques with a traditional recommendation approach. The thesis concludes with experiments conducted on the datasets from the two aforementioned areas to evaluate the proposed techniques, and to demonstrate the process and the effectiveness of the techniques-based recommendation approaches.

▼ In order to control any system one needs to know the system's current state. In many real-world scenarios the state of the system cannot be determined with certainty due to the sensors being noisy or simply missing. In cases like these one needs to use probabilistic inference techniques to compute the likely states of the system and because such cases are common, there are lots of techniques to choose from in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Formally, we must compute a probability distribution function over all possible states. Doing this exactly is difficult because the number of states is exponential in the number of variables in the system and because the joint PDF may not have a closed form. Many approximation techniques have been developed over the years, but none ideally suited the problem we faced. Particle filtering is a popular scheme that approximates the joint PDF over the variables in the system by a set of weighted samples. It works even when the joint PDF has no closed form and the size of the sample can be adjusted to trade off accuracy for computation time. However, with many variables the size of the sample required for a good approximation can still become prohibitively large. Factored particle filtering uses the structure of variable dependencies to split the problem into many smaller subproblems and scales better if such decomposition is possible. However, our problem was unusual because some normally independent variables would become strongly correlated for short periods of time. This dynamically-changing dependency structure was not handled effectively by existing techniques. Considering variables to be always correlated meant the problem did not scale, considering them to be always independent introduced errors too large to tolerate. It was necessary to develop an approach that would utilize variables' independence whenever possible, but not introduce large errors when variables become correlated. We have developed a new technique for monitoring the state of the system for a class of systems with context-specific correlations. It is based on the idea of caching the context in which correlations arise and otherwise keeping the variables independent. Our evaluation shows that our technique outperforms existing techniques and is the first viable solution for the class of problems we consider.

Avec l'apparition des paradigmes des systèmes ubiquitaires ou omniprésents et de l'intelligence ambiante, on assiste à l'émergence d'un nouveau domaine de recherche visant à créer des environnements ou écosystèmes intelligents pouvant offrir une multitude de services permettant d'améliorer la qualité de vie, l'état physique et mental, et le bien-être social des usagers. Dans cette thèse, nous nous focalisons sur la problématique de la représentation sémantique des connaissances et du raisonnement dans le cadre des systèmes à intelligence ambiante et des robots ubiquitaires. Nous proposons deux modèles sémantiques permettant d'améliorer les fonctions cognitives de ces systèmes en termes de gestion du contexte. Au premier modèle, de type ontologique, sont associés un langage de règles et un raisonnement réactif pour la sensibilité au contexte. Pour prendre en compte le caractère dynamique du contexte et assurer une prise de décision cohérente, le mode de raisonnement retenu garantit deux propriétés essentielles : la décidabilité et la non-monotonie. Le deuxième modèle, également de type ontologique, complète le modèle précédent en termes d'expressivité pour la représentation de contextes non-triviaux et/ou liés au temps. Il s'appuie sur des relations n-aires et une représentation narrative des événements pour inférer des causalités entre événements et reconnaitre des contextes complexes non-observables à partir d'événements passés et courants. Les modèles proposés ont été mis en oeuvre et validés sur la plateforme ubiquitaire d'expérimentation du LISSI à partir de trois scenarii d'assistance cognitive et de reconnaissance de contexte

With the appearance of the paradigms of ubiquitous systems and ambient intelligence, a new domain of research is emerging with the aim of creating intelligent environments and ecosystems, that can provide multiple services that can improve quality of life, the physical and mental status and the social wellness of the users. In this thesis, we address the problem of semantic knowledge representation and reasoning, in the context of ambient intelligent systems and ubiquitous robots. We propose two semantic models that improve the cognitive functions of these systems, in terms of context recognition, and context adaptation. The first one is an ontology-based model, which is associated with a rule language to model reactive reasoning process on contextual knowledge. To take into account the dynamicity of context and insure coherent decision-making, this process guarantees two essential properties: decidability and non-monotonic reasoning. The second model is also an ontology-based model that completes the previous model in terms of expressiveness for semantic representation of non-trivial contexts with temporal dimension It is based on n-ary relations and a narrative representation of events for inferring causalities between events, and therefore to build the chronological context of a situation as from past and current events. The proposed models have been implemented on the ubiquitous…

Dans cette thèse, nous proposons un cadre générique pour la modélisation et la gestion du contexte dans le cadre des systèmes intelligents ambiants et robotiques. Les connaissances contextuelles considérées sont de plusieurs types et issues de perceptions multimodales : connaissances spatiales et/ou temporelles, changement d’états et de propriétés d’entités, énoncés en langage naturel. Pour ce faire, nous avons proposé une extension du langage NKRL (Narrative Knowledge Representation and Reasoning) pour parvenir à une représentation unifiée des connaissances contextuelles qu’elles soient spatiales, temporelles ou spatio-temporelles et effectuer les raisonnements associés. Nous avons exploité l’expressivité des ontologies n-aires sur lesquelles repose le langage NKRL pour pallier aux problèmes rencontrés dans les approches de représentation des connaissances spatiales et dynamiques à base d’ontologies binaires, communément utilisées en intelligence ambiante et en robotique. Il en résulte une modélisation plus riche, plus fine et plus cohérente du contexte permettant une meilleure adaptation des services d’assistance à l’utilisateur dans le cadre des systèmes intelligents ambiants et robotiques. La première contribution concerne la modélisation des connaissances spatiales et/ou temporelles et des changements de contexte, et les inférences spatiales, temporelles ou spatio-temporelles. La deuxième contribution concerne, quant à elle, le développement d’une méthodologie permettant d’effectuer un traitement syntaxique et une annotation sémantique pour extraire, à partir d’un énoncé en langage naturel, des connaissances contextuelles spatiales ou temporelles en NKRL. Ces contributions ont été validées et évaluées en termes de performances (temps de traitement, taux d’erreurs, et taux de satisfaction des usagers) dans le cadre de scénarios mettant en œuvre différentes formes de services : assistance au bien-être, assistance de type aide sociale, assistance à la préparation d’un repas

In this thesis, we propose a generic framework for modeling and managing the context in ambient and robotic intelligent systems. The contextual knowledge considered is of several types and derived from multimodal perceptions : spatial and / or temporal knowledge, change of states and properties of entities, statements in natural language. To do this, we proposed an extension of the Narrative Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (NKRL) language to reach a unified representation of contextual knowledge whether spatial, temporal or spatio-temporal and perform the associated reasoning. We have exploited the expressiveness of the n-ary ontologies on which the NKRL language is based to bearing on the problems encountered in the spatial and dynamic knowledge representation approaches based on binary ontologies, commonly used in ambient intelligence and robotics. The result is a richer, finer and more coherent modeling of the context allowing a better adaptation of user assistance services in the context of ambient and robotic intelligent systems.…

Pervasive Computing systems have to deal with the contextual information (context), which characterizes the current situation of the involved entities (e.g., users, mobile devices, environment, etc.). This thesis studies context management issues related to the capability of a pervasive system on adapting its behavior to the involved entities’ context. Specifically, the interaction between the user and such system has to be less intruding as long as the latter recognizes the current user situation and adapts its functions accordingly. Such issues comprise the concept of Context Awareness. The thesis focuses on context knowledge representation and reasoning as well as on approximate reasoning (Fuzzy Sets Theory). The management of lower level environmental information that emanates from sensors is also of great importance and is achieved with novel data fusion and decision fusion techniques that are proposed. Moreover, have been studied issues regarding collaborative context awareness and reasoning as well as bio-mimetic contextual dissemination. Adaptive algorithms are proposed so that is rendered possible the efficient dissemination of information in distributed environments. The objective is the minimization of communicating costs and the enhancement of “context quality”. Consequently, in this thesis have been designated issues such as context discovery, context representation and inference, context fusion and collaborative context awareness.

Τα συστήματα διάχυτου υπολογισμού καλούνται να διαχειριστούν την πληροφορία πλαισίου (context) που χαρακτηρίζει την περιρρέουσα κατάσταση διαφόρων οντοτήτων (π.χ., χρήστες, υπολογιστές, περιβάλλον, κτλ.). Στην παρούσα διατριβή εξετάζονται θέματα που αφορούν τη διαχείριση πλαισίου (context management) καθώς και την ικανότητα ενός συστήματος διάχυτου υπολογισμού να προσαρμόζεται στις ανάγκες των χρηστών λαμβάνοντας αυτόνομα αποφάσεις, ελαχιστοποιώντας έτσι την παρέμβασή τους. Έμφαση δίνεται στην αναπαράσταση και το συμπερασμό πλαισίου, καθώς και στη χρήση σχημάτων προσεγγιστικού συμπερασμού γνώσης (Θεωρία Ασαφών Συνόλων-ΘΑΣ). Ιδιαίτερης σημασίας αποτελεί και η διαχείριση σε χαμηλότερο επίπεδο της πληροφορίας περιβάλλοντος που προέρχεται από δίκτυα αισθητήρων. Μέσω των τεχνικών σύντηξης δεδομένων/αποφάσεων που προτείνονται καθίσταται δυνατή η επεξεργασία αυτού του είδους πλαισίου. Επιπλέον, μελετήθηκαν θέματα συνεργατικής επίγνωσης, συμπερασμού και βιο-μιμητικής διάδοσης πλαισίου. Προτάθηκαν κατάλληλοι αλγόριθμοι προσαρμοστικής συμπεριφοράς ώστε να καταστεί δυνατή η αποδοτικότερη διάδοσή της πληροφορίας σε κατανεμημένα περιβάλλοντα. Ο στόχος είναι η ελαχιστοποίηση του κόστους επικοινωνίας και παράλληλα η μεγιστοποίηση της «ποιότητας» του διαδιδόμενου πλαισίου. Κατά συνέπεια, στα πλαίσια της διατριβής αναδείχθηκαν βασικά ζητήματα όπως η ανακάλυψη, η αναπαράσταση και ο συμπερασμός πλαισίου, η σύντηξη πλαισίου και η συνεργατική συμπεριφορά οντοτήτων σε κατανεμημένα περιβάλλοντα.

▼ Recommender systems support online customers by suggesting products and services of likely interest to them. Research in recommender systems is now starting to recognise the importance of multiple selection criteria and the role of customer context in improving the recommendation output. This thesis investigates the inclusion of criteria and context information in the recommendation process. Firstly, a novel technique for multi-criteria recommendation is proposed. It assumes that some selection criteria for an item (product or a service) will dominate the overall rating, and that these dominant criteria will be different for different users. Following this assumption, users are clustered based on their criteria preferences, creating a “preference lattice”. The recommendation output for a user is then based on ratings by other users from the same or nearby clusters. Secondly, a context similarity metric for context aware recommendation is presented. This metric can help improve the prediction accuracy in two ways. On the one hand, the metric can guide the aggregation of the feedback from similar context to improve the prediction accuracy. This aggregation is important because the recommendation generation based on prior feedback by similar customers reduces the quantum of feedback used, resulting in a reduction in recommendation quality. On the other hand, the value returned by the context similarity metric can also be used to indicate the importance of the context information in the prediction process for a context aware recommendation.The validation of the two proposed techniques and their applications are conducted in the service domain because the relatively high degree of user involvement attracts users to provide detailed feedback from multiple perspectives, such as from criteria and context perspectives. In particular, hotel services and web services areas are selected due to their different levels of maturity in terms of users’ feedback. For each area, this thesis proposes a different recommendation approach by combining the proposed techniques with a traditional recommendation approach. The thesis concludes with experiments conducted on the datasets from the two aforementioned areas to evaluate the proposed techniques, and to demonstrate the process and the effectiveness of the techniques-based recommendation approaches.

▼ Les premiers robots sont apparus dans les usines, sous la forme d'automates programmables. Ces premières formes robotiques ont le plus souvent un nombre très limité de capteurs et se contentent de répéter une séquence de mouvements et d'actions. De nos jours, de plus en plus de robots ont à interagir ou coopérer avec l'homme, que se soit sur le lieu de travail avec les robots coéquipiers ou dans les foyers avec les robots d'assistance. Mettre un robot dans un environnement humain soulève de nombreuses problématiques. En effet, pour évoluer dans le même environnement que l'homme et comprendre cet environnement, le robot doit être doté de capacités cognitives appropriées. Au delà de la compréhension de l'environnement matériel, le robot doit être capable de raisonner sur partenaires humains afin de pouvoir collaborer avec eux ou les servir au mieux. Lorsque le robot interagit avec des humains, l'accomplissement de la tâche n'est pas un critère suffisant pour quantifier la qualité de l'interaction. En effet, l'homme étant un être social, il est important que le robot puisse avoir des mécanismes de raisonnement lui permettant d'estimer également l'état mental de l'homme pour améliorer sa compréhension et son efficacité, mais aussi pour exhiber des comportements sociaux afin de se faire accepter et d'assurer le confort de l'humain. Dans ce manuscrit, nous présentons tout d'abord une infrastructure logicielle générique (indépendante de la plateforme robotique et des capteurs utilisés) qui permet de construire et maintenir une représentation de l'état du monde à l'aide de l'agrégation des données d'entrée et d'hypothèses sur l'environnement. Cette infrastructure est également en charge de l'évaluation de la situation. En utilisant l'état du monde qu'il maintient à jour, le système est capable de mettre en oeuvre divers raisonnements spatio-temporels afin d'évaluer la situation de l'environnement et des agents (humains et robots) présents. Cela permet ainsi d'élaborer et de maintenir une représentation symbolique de l'état du monde et d'avoir une connaissance en permanence de la situation des agents. Dans un second temps, pour aller plus loin dans la compréhension de la situation des humains, nous expliquerons comment nous avons doté notre robot de la capacité connue en psychologie développementale et cognitive sous le nom de “théorie de l'esprit” concrétisée ici par des mécanismes permettant de raisonner en se mettant à la place de l'humain, c'est à dire d'être doté de “prise de perspective”. Par la suite nous expliquerons comment l'évaluation de la situation permet d'établir un dialogue situé avec l'homme, et en quoi la capacité de gérer explicitement des croyances divergentes permet d'améliorer la qualité de l'interaction et la compréhension de l'homme par le robot. Nous montrerons également comment la connaissance de la situation et la possibilité de raisonner en se mettant à la place de l'homme permet une reconnaissance d'intentions appropriée de celui-ci et comment nous avons pu grâce à cela doter notre robot de… Advisors/Committee Members: Alami, Rachid (thesis director).

▼ Le développement d’applications ubiquitaires est particulièrement complexe. Au-delà de l’aspect dynamique de telles applications, l’évolution de l’informatique vers la multiplication des terminaux mobiles ne facilite pas les choses. Une solution pour simplifier le développement et l’exploitation de telles applications est d’utiliser des plateformes logicielles dédiées au déploiement et à l’adaptation des applications et gérant l’hétérogénéité des périphériques. Elles permettent aux concepteurs de se focaliser sur les aspects métiers et facilitent la réutilisation. La gestion du contexte est un élément clé lorsque l’on souhaite réaliser des applications pervasives sensibles au contexte. Les informations contextuelles issues d’un grand nombre de sources distribuées différentes sont, généralement, des informations brutes qui, sans interprétation, peuvent être dénuées de sens. En se basant sur des ontologies, il est possible de construire des modèles sémantiques qui seront alimentés par ces informations brutes et ainsi non seulement d’augmenter leur niveau de représentation sémantique mais surtout de pouvoir les utiliser pour prendre des décisions automatiques d’adaptation d’applications basées sur le contexte au runtime. La démocratisation des périphériques conduit à ce qu’un usager dispose actuellement de plusieurs périphériques incluant postes fixes, téléphones, tablettes, box, etc. pour son usage personnel. Il est souhaitable que cet ensemble de ressources lui soit accessible en tout point et à tout moment. De même des ressources publiques (stockage, services, etc.) peuvent lui être offertes. En revanche, la protection de la vie privée et les risques d’intrusion ne peuvent être négligés. Notre proposition est de définir, pour chaque utilisateur, un domaine d’adaptation qui contient l’ensemble des ressources auxquelles il peut accéder sans limite. Ces ressources sont celles qu’il a accepté de rendre disponibles sur ses machines pour lui-même et celles que les autres utilisateurs ont accepté de partager. Ainsi la notion de contexte est liée à celle d’utilisateur et inclut la totalité des ressources auxquelles il a accès. C’est la totalité de ces ressources qui sera exploitée pour faire en sorte de lui offrir les services adaptés à ses choix, ses dispositifs, sa localisation, etc. Nous proposons un middleware de gestion de contexte Kali2Much afin de fournir des services dédiés à la gestion du contexte distribué sur le domaine. Ce middleware est accompagné du module Kali-Reason permettant la construction de chaînes de raisonnement en BPMN afin d’offrir des fonctionnalités de raisonnent sur les informations de contexte dans le but d’identifier des situations nécessitant éventuellement une reconfiguration soit de l’application soit de la plateforme elle-même. C’est ainsi qu’est introduit l’aspect autonomique lié à la prise de décision. Les situations ainsi détectées permettent d’identifier le moment où déclencher les adaptations ainsi que les services d’adaptation qu’il sera nécessaire de déclencher. La conséquence étant… Advisors/Committee Members: Dalmau, Marc (thesis director).

Tirant parti de notre expérience avec une approche traditionnelle des environnements d'assistance ambiante (AAL) qui repose sur l'utilisation de nombreuses technologies hétérogènes dans les déploiements, cette thèse étudie la possibilité d'une approche simplifiée et complémentaire, ou seul un sous-ensemble hardware réduit est déployé, initiant un transfert de complexité vers le côté logiciel. Axé sur les aspects de raisonnement dans les systèmes AAL, ce travail a permis à la proposition d'un moteur d'inférence sémantique adapté à l'utilisation particulière à ces systèmes, répondant ainsi à un besoin de la communauté scientifique. Prenant en compte la grossière granularité des données situationnelles disponible avec une telle approche, un ensemble de règles dédiées avec des stratégies d'inférence adaptées est proposé, implémenté et validé en utilisant ce moteur. Un mécanisme de raisonnement sémantique novateur est proposé sur la base d'une architecture de raisonnement inspiré du système cognitif. Enfin, le système de raisonnement est intégré dans un framework de provision de services sensible au contexte, se chargeant de l'intelligence vis-à-vis des données contextuelles en effectuant un traitement des événements en direct par des manipulations ontologiques complexes. L’ensemble du système est validé par des déploiements in-situ dans une maison de retraite ainsi que dans des maisons privées, ce qui en soi est remarquable dans un domaine de recherche principalement cantonné aux laboratoires

Leveraging our experience with the traditional approach to ambient assisted living (AAL) which relies on a large spread of heterogeneous technologies in deployments, this thesis studies the possibility of a more “stripped down” and complementary approach, where only a reduced hardware subset is deployed, probing a transfer of complexity towards the software side, and enhancing the large scale deployability of the solution. Focused on the reasoning aspects in AAL systems, this work has allowed the finding of a suitable semantic inference engine for the peculiar use in these systems, responding to a need in this scientific community. Considering the coarse granularity of situational data available, dedicated rule-sets with adapted inference strategies are proposed, implemented, and validated using this engine. A novel semantic reasoning mechanism is proposed based on a cognitively inspired reasoning architecture. Finally, the whole reasoning system is integrated in a fully featured context-aware service framework, powering its context awareness by performing live event processing through complex ontological manipulation. the overall system is validated through in-situ deployments in a nursing home as well as private homes over a few months period, which itself is noticeable in a mainly laboratory-bound research domain

A Pervasive Computing system has to deal with the contextual information (context), which characterizes the current situation of the involved entities (e.g., users, mobile devices). There are different scientific fields studying the various problems that may arise, depending on the aspect from which they are observed. This thesis studies issues related to the capability of a pervasive system on adapting its behavior to the involved entities’ context/situation. Specifically, the interaction between the user and such system has to be less intruding as long as the latter recognizes the current user situation and adapts its functions accordingly. Hence, the human intervention is kept to a minimum since such system is designed to bother the user as little as possible. The thesis focuses on context knowledge representation and management as well as on algorithmic issues related to contextual information dissemination. Such issues comprise the concept of Context Awareness. Problems that have been studied include context representation, interpretation, sensing, discovery and inference along with the capacity of a system to reason about context and perform certain (pre)defined tasks in advance. Through approximate reasoning (Fuzzy Sets Theory), bio-mimetic dissemination algorithms (Epidemical Spreading) and the appropriate derived algorithms the aforementioned problems have been modeled and studied. Consequently, in this thesis, the semantic enhancement of context, context fusion/inference, context adaptation, collaborative context awareness and context discovery issues have been clearly shown.

▼ This thesis is a compilation of four papers in which mathematical reasoning is examined in various contexts, in which mathematics is an integral part. It is known from previous studies that a focus on rote learning and procedural mathematical reasoning hamper students’ learning of mathematics. The aims of this thesis are to explore how mathematical reasoning affects upper secondary students’ possibilities to master the physics curricula, and how real-life contexts in mathematics affect students’ mathematical reasoning. This is done by analysing the mathematical reasoning requirements in Swedish national physics tests; as well as by examining how mathematical reasoning affects students’ success on the tests/tasks. Furthermore, the possible effect of the presence of real-life contexts in Swedish national mathematics tasks on students’ success is explored; as well as if the effect differs when account is taken to mathematical reasoning requirements. The framework that is used for categorising mathematical reasoning, distinguishes between imitative and creative mathematical reasoning, where the latter, in particular, involves reasoning based on intrinsic properties. Data consisted of ten Swedish national physics tests for upper secondary school, with additional student data for eight of the tests; and six Swedish national mathematics tests for upper secondary school, with additional student data. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in the analyses. The qualitative analysis consisted of structured comparisons between representative student solutions and the students’ educational history. Furthermore, various descriptive statistics and significance tests were used. The main results are that a majority of the physics tasks require mathematical reasoning, and particularly that creative mathematical reasoning is required to fully master the physics curricula. Moreover, the ability to reason mathematically creatively seems to have a positive effect on students’ success on physics tasks. The results indicate additionally, that there is an advantage of the presence of real-life context in mathematics tasks when creative mathematical reasoning is required. This advantage seems to be particularly notable for students with lower grades.

▼ This thesis presents the conceptualization, formulation, development and demonstration of Omnispective Analysis and Reasoning (OAR), an epistemic framework for managing intellectual concerns in scientific workflows. Although scientific workflows are extensively used to support the management of experimental and computational research, intellectual concerns are not adequately handled in current practice owing to the focus on low-level implementation details, limited context support, issues in developing shared semantics across disciplines and lack of support for verification and validation of the underlying science of the workflow. The management of intellectual concerns in scientific workflows can be improved by developing a framework for providing a layer of abstraction to lift focus from low-level implementation details, adding context as a workflow parameter, introducing localized ontologies and abstracting and mapping intellectual concerns in the research-domain to workflow specification and execution semantics. Following an examination of typical definitions of scientific workflow offered in literature, the Scientific Method is applied to develop an enhanced definition of a scientific workflow. This definition, which extends the scope of ordered analysis and investigation to a generic problem scenario, is utilized in the OAR framework. The design of OAR is modular like the Domain of Science Model (DoSM). The structure and working of OAR incorporate the evolving nature of science, hierarchy of conceptualization, omnispection, and the logical processes of analysis, reasoning and abstraction. These form the Foundation and Theory of OAR. Abstracting concerns in terms of unit knowledge entities (ukes) and groups of ukes (recipes), use of context to identify relation between recipes, the management of recipes in shelves, and the processes of concern refinement and context refinement constitute the Methodology. A comprehensive and simple example of the application of OAR to the abstraction, analysis, formulation and orchestration of a scientific workflow at different levels of granularity is provided by applying it to the problem of origami paper folding. The use of OAR in capturing the rationale of design decisions and mapping them to desired outcomes is demonstrated by applying OAR for contextualizing course design. Another example illustrates the use of OAR in the analysis, understanding and management of complex systems. Localized ontologies enable the exposure of side-effects and emergent behavior in large-scale systems due to the choice of any particular solution specification. These examples constitute a first step in building the Applications block of OAR. While OAR may be manually applied even to large-scale problems, it is expedient to avail of tool support. Soma - a simple and illustrative tool prototype is developed to indicate directions for a reference tool implementation. The thesis concludes with a consideration of ideas for future work. The contribution in this thesis corresponds to an instance of…
