Context- centric view: Transition-supported Situation Inference (C05)

• Subject Area: Security and Dependability, Operating-, Communication- and Distributed Systems ; Accounting and Finance
• Term: since 2017
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 210487104

The goal of subproject C5 is the development of an approach for the analysis and inference of situations of different play-ers in the Internet (end users, infrastructure and service providers) considering technical and economic conditions. C5 started in phase II with the prediction of the usage context using sensors of mobile devices to proactively initiate transitions. In Phase III, transitions are not only considered as a means to improve the quality of service, but also as a means to reduce in-formation asymmetries between players. To this end, transitions will be triggered in a targeted manner for exploratory pur-poses to observe the behavior of other players based on their reaction in specific contexts and to infer their situation, i.e. the relationship between their context and their behavior.
