evolving. The support of context-awareness requires comprehensive management
including detection and resolution of context conflicts, which occurs naturally in
pervasive computing. We demonstrate a method by which context conflicts can be
handled; this method uses an approach of voting games and is combined with fuzzy
logic and preference orderings of each creator. We describe how this method is
implemented in the CR-system, and sketch a distributed context-aware application to
illustrate how the method works in practice. We introduce another method that uses a
micro-economic approach that relies on a particular type of sealed-bid auction. We
compare them and show, by way of systematic performance evaluation, that conflict
resolution does not imply undue overheads.
