abstract = "Inferring situations is the key to developing situation-aware applications that exploit users{\textquoteright} situations to support the fulfillment of their tasks on the move. In this paper, we take an attempt to reason about users{\textquoteright} various situations from their calendar events, provided the calendar event data represent accurate scheduling of {\textquoteleft}real-world{\textquoteright} events. We show how ontology can be used to infer situations from calendar events by considering both the semantic and temporal aspects of situations. We develop a situation ontology and propose a semantic rule based approach to deducing and abstracting situations from data collected from calendar system. The feasibility and applicability of our approach is demonstrated by developing a prototype mobile phone call interrupt management application that uses user{\textquoteright}s situation information for handling incoming phone calls. We further present an empirical evaluation of our approach on a real dataset. Our preliminary results show that our approach has a great potential to infer users{\textquoteright} various situations.",
