We propose and develop an approach modeled with multi-attribute utility theory for sensor fusion in context-aware environments. Our approach is distinguished from existing general purpose fusion techniques by a number of factors including a general underlying context model it is built upon and a set of heuristics it covers. The technique is developed for context-aware applications and we argue that it provides various advantages for data fusion in context-aware scenarios. We experimentally evaluate our approach with actual use cases using real sensors.Upprättat; 2005; 20080130 (ysko
