Context Aware for Internet of Things: A Survey

Abstract

After the spread of sensors deployment in different domains, the con-aware paradigm has emerged, it is basically based on sensors for data collecting process in order to generate a con that represent an information which characterize a real time situation of an entity. This paradigm has vastly improved the classic systems. Progress of technologies do not stopped in con-aware but was followed by the Internet of Things (IoT) concept, and the success appeared when combining the conaware paradigm and the IoT. In this paper, we survey conaware with IoT related works. At first we present the basic concepts of con-aware, and the principles techniques used in the life cycle of the con. In second, we illustrate taxonomy of recent works. After that, a comparison study of the studied works will be presented and discussed. Finally, we conclude with some points that can improve the future works.
