A Context-Based Document System for Wearable Computers

With the continuous availability of wearable computers, users have the opportunity to create and acquire large numbers of files. The ability to store and retrieve documents effectively with these machines is a key issue. Hierarchical storage is not adequate because the user must focus on where a document is stored instead of on what it contains. This paper explores how context can be used to help the capture and access of documents in a wearable computer. It examines several systems that use context with documents. It then presents a new storage system that uses context to aid in the capture and access of documents in a wearable computer.
