Context-aware computing has the potential to greatly alleviate the human attention
bottleneck. To facilitate the development of context-aware applications, we envision a …

Despite many sensor, hardware, networking, and software advances, it is still quite difficult to
build effective and reliable context-aware applications. We propose to build a context …

We present a uniform mobile terminal software framework that provides systematic methods
for acquiring and processing useful context information from a user's surroundings and …

Context is an important, yet poorly understood and poorly utilized source of information in
interactive computing. It will be of particular importance in the new millennium as users …

Context-aware computing is a mobile computing paradigm in which applications can
discover and take advantage of contextual information (such as user location, time of day …

Mobile phones and PDAs are converging into mobile lifestyle devices that offer a wide range
of applications to end users. Many of these applications will have the ability to adapt …

Context awareness allows applications to adapt themselves to their computing environment
in order to better suit the needs of the user. Such a capability is critical to pervasive …

Context-aware computing offers the promise of significant user gains-the ability for systems
to adapt more readily to user needs, models, and goals. Dey, Abowd, and Salber (2001 [this …

Context-awareness is emerging as a central issue in ubiquitous computing research.
Context-aware computing refers to the idea that computing devices can sense and react to …

This paper defines an activity/attention framework for context aware computing, and
categorizes several applications we have developed in spatial and temporal contexts. These …
