Generally, context reasoning is adopted to deduce new context based on the available contexts. The rule-based reasoning is one of the most well-known methods for context reasoning. However, it is difficult for the rule-based algorithm to reason personalized context, because it requires a large number of rules to apply the user's preferences. To address this weakness, in this paper we suggest the Profile-Applied Reasoning Engine (PARE). PARE is an enhanced rule-based reasoning method which uses profiles while reasoning contexts. By using profiles, PARE can become aware of the context that is preferred by a specific individual. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed reasoning engine, we compared the reasoning result of PARE with traditional rule-based reasoning in smart home domain. PARE shows better outcome for reasoning the personalized contexts than the traditional rule-based reasoning. In addition, by using profiles, a significant number of rules have been omitted and consequently the running time is also decreased. Moreover, PARE occupies less memory space which is restricted with number of variables of a rule. Therefore, PARE optimizes both runtime and memory space, which is valuable when making embedded context-aware system. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/155014775389091","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,26]],"date-time":"2016-07-26T02:03:38Z","timestamp":1469498618000},"page":"5389091","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["PARE: Profile-Applied Reasoning Engine for Context-Aware System"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"M.
