The objective of this architecture is to split the context reasoning problem into smaller parts in order to reduce the inference time. We describe how this inference sharing process works, partitioning the context information according to the interests of the agents, location and a certainty factor. We also discuss the system architecture, analyzing the negotiation process between the agents.}, booktitle = {2012 {IEEE} {International} {Conference} on {Pervasive} {Computing} and {Communications} {Workshops} ({PERCOM} {Workshops})}, author = {Almeida, Aitor and Lopez-de-Ipina, Diego}, year = {2012}, keywords = {Artificial Intelligence, Context-Aware Computing, Data analysis, ambient intelligence, distributed reasoning, intelligent environments, jade, multi-agent systems, pervasive computing, phd, semantic inference, semantic technologies}, pages = {848--852}, } ']
