Abstract

This paper presents a context-aware mobile application for office-type working purposes. Via the user tests we have evaluated if this kind of application can support worker's daily life. In the experiments we had real users in real working environment. Our investigation illustrates that workers could utilize context-aware features to ease up their working routines such as keeping presentations. The results of this paper can help designers and developers to envision and implement future ubiquitous devices and environments.
