CONTEXT!!

Introduction

• The development of systems that use context data is

difficult

• Technical challenges

• Context data has to be…

• Obtained (distributed, heterogeneous)

• Processed (data model)

• Managed (inference->situations)

• The system has to be adapted to the identified situation

• Developers need…

• Toolkits that can make easier the development and

deployment of Context-Aware Systems.

•Conclusions

Theoretical framework

• Context is…

“… any information that can be obtained and

processed by a hardware or a software system,

in order to identify the situation of an entity

and adapt the system’s behaviour to that situation”.

{sleeping, at home, …} {living being, place, object}

Theoretical framework

• A situation is…

… the state of a subset of the available context

information at a certain region in space and at a

concrete interval in time”.
