Context exchanging should be made privacy-conscious. We can specify privacy preferences to limit the disclosure of sensitive contexts, but the sensitive contexts could still be derived from those insensitive. To date, there have been very few inference control mechanisms for context management, especially when the environments are uncertain. In this paper, we present an inference control method for private context protection in uncertain environments. © Springer-Verlag 2009.Mahidol UniversityComputer ScienceEngineeringArticleSCOPUS10.1007/s10207-009-0088-z
