    <event:abstract><![CDATA[Conflict management in context-aware computing is getting more significant
attention from researchers as ubiquitous computing environments take into
account multiple users. For multi-user ubiquitous computing environments,
conflicts among user's contexts need to be detected and resolved. For
this, application developers or end-users specify conflicts situations,
and the underlying ubiquitous computing middleware detects and resolve
conflicts between applications when one of the conflict situations arises. <br>
In this paper, we propose Conflict manager to resolve conflicts in Context-aware
applications. Conflicts arise when multiple users try to access an
application. In order to resolve conflicts among users, the Conflict
resolver sums up preferences of users which collide with each other and
recommends specific contents depending on different criteria’s such as
role of the user or the priority assigned with the user. This paper
proposes various algorithms where in each algorithm tries to resolve the
conflicts among the users considering issues such as starvation. To  show
the  usefulness  of  the  proposed  conflict  resolution  method, we
apply  the  proposed  conflict  resolution  method  to  Context  aware
TV,  a  smart  test&#8208;bed.The conflict manager is built using an array
of algorithms which work on the principles of preemption, non preemption,
and uses methodologies like  Role, Priority , Time slice based approaches.
Thereby making the system to provide comprehensible and well suited
solutions to cater the versatile needs of the family .The algorithms
utilize various factors like priority, credits, age, and time in the above
mentioned approaches. The  motto  of  this  project  is  to  enable
context&#8208;aware  applications  to  offer  personalized  services  to
multiple  users  by  resolving  service  conflicts  among  users.]]></event:abstract>
