Resolving Information Conflict
Keep “better” tuple and discard the other
There are many possible methods of conflict resolution
Recently published tuple
More trustworthy tuple
Specific source’s identity
Type of source: ‘reported current’, ‘measured device information’, ‘measured by sensors’, ‘reported scheduled’
Value of another element in tuple, such as ‘idle’ or ‘sphere’
In some cases, the conflict is better NOT resolved
Keep both tuples intact and let the watcher choose
Keep all values and list them all during tuple merging
Possibly the best choice for ‘mood’ and ‘activities’
