The design and applications of a context service

ese two applications are built upon the abstraction provided by the Context Service and thus help validate the design of this service. The first application, a Notification Dispatcher, uses context to route messages to the most appropriate communication device for a recipient. The second application, a context-aware content distribution system, uses context to predict users' access to web content, and uses these predictions to pre-process and pre-distribute content in order to reduce the access latency.
