Current hardware developments are making mobile computing increasingly attractive. An
important class of mobile applications are context-aware applications: applications that …

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 …

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-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 …

Smart phones are a particularly tempting platform for building context-aware applications
because they're programmable and often use well-known operating systems. There's a gap …

Context-aware systems offer entirely new opportunities for application developers and for
end users by gathering context data and adapting systems behaviour accordingly …

We are interested in prototyping future computing environments. In this paper, we present
the Cyberguide project, which is building prototypes of handheld, intelligent tour guides that …

The emergence of new types of mobile and embedded computing devices and
developments in wireless networking are broadening the domain of computing from the …

The implementation of context-aware systems can be supported through the adoption of
techniques at the architectural level such as middlewares or component-oriented …

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