Abstract—Context awareness is emphasized in order to provide automatic services in smart home. This paper uses case based reasoning as the reasoning method which solves the problem “In the first phase, we don’t know exactly about the key processes and their interdependencies in smart home’s context”. The context’s contents in smart home are described in this paper. Also, case representation, case storage and similarity calculation are discussed in smart home’s context awareness. We propose a framework of context aware based on CBR, and discuss the case adaptation in detail.
