Context-Aware Computing

Situations let people act accordingly to it. Smartphones and other current devices can detect and react on such contextual data, because they have multiple sensors and enough processing performance to analyse that. Such behavior is called context-aware and a key to make devices faster and more efficient in everyday life. This paper describes what context and context-aware is and how application...

Context-aware Mobile Computing

In the past, research in context-aware mobile computing and applications mainly focused on location-based systems. While location is a crucial and vital part of context information, it’s only a subset thereof. Mobile context systems need to utilize more than just spatial information. Any information on the environment relevant to the user’s task can serve as context data. This information cover...
