Abstract :
The knowledge about the user context refers to a sequence of activities performed in a pervasive computing environment. Such sequence and the corresponding context transitions typically constitute the up-to-now user situation, thus, clusters of similar situations can be formed. A framework that represents and infers the current user context and reasons about user situations through approximate reasoning and clustering techniques is proposed .
