A comprehensive framework is presented for the analysis or description of context in relation to human-computer communication, in a manner that is also consistent with the contextual analysis of interpersonal communication among humans. Following a discussion of the nature of context, a hierarchically structured framework is proposed, which distinguishes between those contextual factors that are intrinsic to the communication process and those extrinsic factors that are classed as situational. Both of these overall classes are subdivided into broader and narrower categories, and the situational context is additionally analyzed in terms of physical and socio-cultural factors. Cognitive aspects of context are also included within the treatment, while allowing for the di¤erences that exist between human and computerbased representations. Finally, the application of the framework to various aspects of human-computer communication is discussed, with a view to the resolution of attendant problems.

“…We adopt the generic definitions proposed by Dey et al [6]: [21]: (i) Device context, which is contextual information related to devices, such as available CPU, memory, reachable networks etc. ; (ii) User context, including the user's profile and preferences, but also information about the user's applications; and (iii) Physical context such as location, weather, light etc.…”

Abstract.A major challenge in pervasive computing environments is to provide users with complex, context-sensitive applications, dynamically composed from networked services. In this paper, we present an approach to the dynamic, context-aware composition of services to perform user tasks, i.e., software applications abstractly described on the user's handheld device. Both networked services and user tasks are modeled as semantic Web services in OWL-S extended with context information. The distinctive feature of our solution is the ability to compose Web services that expose complex behaviors (conversations) to realize a user task that itself has a complex behavior. Furthermore, the context-related requirements of the task are met by aggregating the context-sensitive behaviors of the individual services.

Abstract. Research in context-aware systems shows that using context information enables the development of personalized mobile applications. The context acquisition process in a context-aware (CA) system consists of two main roles: context producing entities (e.g. wrapped sensors) and context consuming entities (e.g. CA application). A CA system can be seen as a hierarchy of associated context producers and consumers which exchange contextual information. Managing contextual information used in context aware systems, introduces additional complexity for mobile application developers. We focus on the dynamic processes of discovery, selection, (re)binding and monitoring of entities that produce context information. Dynamic context binding is complex because of the dynamic nature, in terms of availability and quality, of context producers. We propose to delegate the responsibility for context binding to the middleware infrastructure and provide application designers with a declarative language to specify context information requirements on a high-level of abstraction. In this way, our Context-Aware Component Infrastructure (CACI) provides support for dynamic context bindings between application components and context producers.
