Context-aware computing refers to a computing paradigm in which the behavior of individual components is determined by the circumstances in which they find themselves to an extent...
Context-awareness is a key concept in ubiquitous computing, which sometimes seems to be a technology looking for a purpose. In this paper we report on the application of context-a...
Maintaining social awareness of the working context of fellow coworkers is crucial to successful cooperation. For mobile, non colocated workers, however, this social awareness is ...
The immaturity of the field of context-aware computing means that little is known about how to incorporate appropriate personalisation mechanisms into context-aware applications. ...
A new computing era after Mainframes, PC’s and mobiles is becoming more and more anticipated since the beginning of the 21st century. This new era is often described with several...
The tuple space model inspired by Linda has recently been rediscovered by distributed middleware. Moreover, some researchers also applied it in the challenging scenarios involving...
Recently, context-aware computing with information appliances is the topic of many research efforts. In order to realize context-aware systems, it is necessary to describe rules, ...
Research in context-aware computing has produced a number of application prototypes, frameworks, middlewares and models for describing context. However, development of ubiquitous ...
The definition of context experienced an evolution in the research area of context-aware computing, but still suffers from either generality or incompleteness. Furthermore, many de...
