Abstract
One subarea in the context of ambient intelligence concerns the support of moving objects, i. e. to monitor the course of events while an object crosses a smart environment and to intervene if the environment could provide assistance. For this purpose, the smart environment has to employ methods of knowledge representation and spatiotemporal reasoning. This enables the support of such diverse tasks as wayfinding, spatial search, and collaborative spatial work.
