“…In this area, all revolves around the user and the services that can be provided to her/him. One fundamental contextual element here is location and the environment surrounding the user [8], even though it was clear from the beginning that context is much more than that [9]. A later and classic work by Dey, in addition to external features such as location, environment and time, included the emotional state of the user as part of the contextual elements (this aspect will be discussed in detail in Section 6).…”

Context-based Information Fusion: A survey and discussion

This survey aims to provide a comprehensive status of recent and current research on context-based Information Fusion (IF) systems, tracing back the roots of the original thinking behind the development of the concept of ''context''. It shows how its fortune in the distributed computing world eventually per-meated in the world of IF, discussing the current strategies and techniques, and hinting possible future trends. IF processes can represent context at different levels (structural and physical constraints of the scenario, a priori known operational rules between entities and environment, dynamic relationships modelled to interpret the system output, etc.). In addition to the survey, several novel context exploita-tion dynamics and architectural aspects peculiar to the fusion domain are presented and discussed.

Abstract. This paper deals with the implications of the socialness of private communication. Drawing upon ethnographic observations of first time mobile phone users in Rah, an island in Vanuatu, we revisit the debate on how the mobile phone reconfigures private and personal communication. Our observations show how the advent of the mobile phone disrupts and challenges existing practices around how private communication is managed on the island. These observations are used to open up a design space where we explore the socialness of personal, private communication. Drawing on the analysis, we discuss three directions for future thinking of mobile interaction design: (1) designing for spatial awareness; (2) designing for transience and (3) designing with temporality. We expand on these to discuss the notion of digital patina, which we argue, is an exciting topic to explore for the design of personal, social communication.

“…state connectivity) is largely in the middle ground. Dix et al's framework [DR00] for mobile context is also focused principally on medium term context with, as would be expected, location being central. However, the faster timescales are not neglected entirely and Heath et al [HM05] mention context-sensitive menus in the sense of reacting differently to images or audio files, and Dey et al's influential Context toolkit [DA01] includes support for context such as "making dinner".…”

Esta es la versión de autor del artículo publicado en: This is an author produced version of a paper published in: AbstractThis paper takes as its premise that the web is a place of action, not just information, and that the purpose of global data is to serve human needs. The paper presents several component technologies, which together work towards a vision where many small micro-applications can be threaded together using automated assistance to enable a unified and rich interaction. These technologies include data detector technology to enable any text to become a start point of semantic interaction; annotations for web-based services so that they can link data to potential actions; spreading activation over personal ontologies, to allow modelling of context; algorithms for automatically inferring 'typing' of web-form input data based on previous user inputs; and early work on inferring task structures from action traces. Some of these have already been integrated within an experimental web-based (extended) bookmarking tool, Snip!t, and a prototype desktop application On Time, and the paper discusses how the components could be more fully, yet more openly, linked in terms of both architecture and interaction. As well as contributing to the goal of an action and activity-focused web, the work also exposes a number of broader issues, theoretical, practical, social and economic, for the Semantic Web.
