Abstract

This paper discusses an implementation of a declarative style of programming for sensor-based applications, involving the acquisition and aggregation of context. We describe an implementation of LogicCAP integrating Prolog with the ContextToolkit, and its on-going extensions, considering applications in the mobile environment, distributed evaluation, and dynamic sensor binding issues. We also propose LogicCAP as a declarative language for context (and sensor) mashups with the situation as the aggregating abstraction.
