An application framework for mobile, context-aware trails

In this paper 1 we describe the design, implementation and evaluation of a software framework that supports the development of mobile, context-aware trails-based applications. A trail is a contextually scheduled collection of activities and represents a generic model that can be used to satisfy the activity management requirements of a wide range of context-based time management applications. Trails overcome limitations with traditional time management techniques based on static to-do lists by dynamically reordering activities based on emergent context. Key words: trails, context-aware scheduling, pervasive computing, software frameworks
