Abstract

Context awareness is considered one of the most important challenges to be tackled in the field of ubiquitous computing (ubicomp). In this perspective, this paper describes a general model for context-aware systems. The model is organized in multiple tiers, each one addressing a specific design characteristic related to the area. The proposition can be applied in the design and assessment of context-aware systems.

A survey on context-aware systems

Context-aware systems offer entirely new opportunities for application developers and for end users by gathering context data and adapting systems behaviour accordingly. Especially in combination with mobile devices, these mechanisms are of high value ...

This paper presents a context management system for supporting context-aware applications in a smart home. In a ubiquitous computing environment context changes dynamically and the applications have to adapt their behaviors according to the context. ...
Threshold-based context analysis approach for ubiquitous systems

In ubiquitous computing environments, applications must be able to respond to dynamic context changes in order to provide suitable services to users. A promising solution consists of developing context aware applications. In this paper, we present an ...
