Abstract :
Smart objects are gradually integrating into people´s everyday life. While many context-aware solutions for pervasive computing environments do not consider users social aspects, we believe smart objects should be social-aware. So Smart aims at filling the gap in social understanding of the user environment, presenting an ontology based context model to support social context representation and automated social context reasoning.
