Hippie: A Nomadic Information System

Hippie [1] is an internet-based guide offering added value to current information facilities by supporting the multiplicity of activities during the preparation, the execution and the evaluation of a museum/fair visit. The process orientation is made possible by the nomadic characteristic [2] of the system that allows the user to have access to his or her personal information space from all places independently from specific devices. The context takes into account the current position and direction of the user, his personal characteristics like knowledge and interests and the environmental conditions like physical arrangements and technical tools.
