Contextual-Analysis for Infrastructure Awareness Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infrastructures are persistent socio-technical systems used to deliver different kinds of services. Researchers have looked into how awareness of infrastructures in the areas of sustainability [6, 10] and software appropriation [11] can be provided. However, designing infrastructure-aware systems has specific requirements, which are often ignored. In this paper we explore the challenges when developing infrastructure awareness systems based on contextual analysis, and propose guidelines for enhancing the design process.

Contextual Geolocation: a Specialized Application for Improving Indoor Location Awareness in Wireless Local Area Networks
The future of computing includes "adaptive" menu structures for applications that will automatically select content and navigation options – as desired – based upon the location of the user. With wireless systems, location awareness improves networking efficiency and helps alleviate the notoriously slow process of inputting information into handheld computers. For example, a security guard coul...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Context-Awareness
Context-awareness is a key enabling technology for the design of future Internet and user-centric distributed applications. Contexts are situational information, which could be physical/logical, system/user-specific, explicit/implicit, and complete/incomplete, of processing and object entities embedded in a computation and communication environment. The use of contextual information offers grea...
متن کاملReal-time Mobile-Cloud Computing for Context- Aware Blind Navigation
Context-awareness is a critical aspect of safe navigation, especially for the blind and visually impaired in unfamiliar environments. Existing mobile devices for context-aware navigation fall short in many cases due to their dependence on specific infrastructure requirements as well as having limited access to resources that could provide a wealth of contextual clues. In this paper, we propose ...
