Multi-Context Systems for Reactive Reasoning in Dynamic Environments

We show in this paper how managed multi-context systems (mMCS) can be turned into a reactive formalism suitable for continuous reasoning in dynamic environments. We extend mMCS with (abstract) sensors and define the notion of a run of the extended systems. We then show how typical problems arising in online reasoning can be addressed: handling potentially inconsistent sensor input, modeling intelligent forms of forgetting, and controlling the reasoning effort spent by contexts. We also investigate the complexity of some important related decision problems.
