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 …

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 …

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

The Context Toolkit (Dey, Abowd, and Salber, 2001 [this special issue]) is only one of many
possible architectures for supporting context-aware applications. In this essay, we look at the …

This essay considers the problem of defining the context that context-aware systems should
pay attention to from a human perspective. In particular, we argue that there are human …

Privacy is widely recognised as a significant obstacle inhibiting the adoption of context-
aware applications. In order to remove this obstacle, advances are required in many areas …

Significant complexity issues challenge designers of context-aware systems with privacy
control. Information spaces provide a way to organize information, resources, and services …

Ubiquitous computing applications introduce multiple privacy challenges due to their
sensing and actuation capabilities, which are often combined with ubiquitous …

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 …

Based on the assumption that the scarce resource for many people in the world today is not
information but human attention, the challenge for future human-centered computer systems …
