Atmosphere: towards context-selective awareness mechanisms
نویسنده
چکیده
Within the field of computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) concepts of mutual awareness of groupware users are of increasing importance (McDaniel/ Brinck 1997). Awareness functionality supports the coordination of joint activities. The execution of cooperative work depends crucially on knowledge of the joint context of work. Common concepts of awareness often refer to the manner in which people cooperate without technical support. This is particularly relevant for the synchronous use of groupware. Systems like ORBIT (Mansfield et al. 1997) reflect, among other things, states like the presence or absence of a user and his or her working situation (busy, available, in conference, etc.).

Distributed reasoning for context-aware services
Traditional services nowadays offer a strict interface to predefined functionality. Given the current atmosphere of data-integration and interface adaptation according to the user’s profile and context, there is a clear need for a wellstructured and organized approach. Ontologies, as a semantic and first-order-logic founded mechanism, are being used in our research to facilitate such a meaningf...
متن کاملTowards a Formal Model of Context Awareness
There is a definite lack of formal support for modeling realistic context-awareness in pervasive computing applications. The CONAWA calculus presented in this paper provides mechanisms for modeling complex and interwoven sets of context-information by extending ambient calculus with new constructs and capabilities. The calculus is a step in the direction of making formal methods applicable in t...
متن کاملTowards Privacy Protection in a Middleware for Context-awareness
Privacy is recognized as a fundamental issue for the provision of context-aware services. In this paper we present work in progress regarding the definition of a comprehensive framework for supporting context-aware services while protecting users’ privacy. Our proposal is based on a combination of mechanisms for enforcing context-aware privacy policies and k -anonymity. Moreover, our proposed t...
متن کاملCAMAC: a context-aware mandatory access control model
Mandatory access control models have traditionally been employed as a robust security mechanism in multilevel security environments such as military domains. In traditional mandatory models, the security classes associated with entities are context-insensitive. However, context-sensitivity of security classes and flexibility of access control mechanisms may be required especially in pervasive c...
متن کاملSubliminal anchoring: Judgmental consequences and underlying mechanisms
Judgmental anchoring—the assimilation of a numeric estimate towards a previously considered standard—is an exceptionally ubiquitous eVect that inXuences human judgment in a variety of domains and paradigms. Three studies examined whether anchoring eVects even occur, if anchor values are presented subliminally, outside of judges’ awareness. Studies 1 and 2 demonstrate such subliminal anchoring e...
