“…Espinoza et al [5] have provided some anecdotal descriptions of labels people give places when using GeoNotes. Wilenmann and Leuchovius argue that location-based services should describe location in ways relevant to users, such as "I'm home" [20].…”

Abstract. Advances in GPS and wireless networking technologies have enabled a new class of location-aware applications, including location tracking [10,2], location-enhanced messaging [3,9], location-based gaming(www.botfighters.com), and navigation aids for the visually impaired [12]. However, these applications typically represent places quite simply, as a geographical point or a point plus radius. We conducted an experiment that showed that this simple representation is not expressive enough to represent the full range of people's everyday places. We also present a set of more complicated physical shapes that our subjects found sufficient to cover their places. These results identify representational requirements for location-aware systems, have implications for systems that aim to acquire place representations, suggest enhanced applications, and open up interesting avenues for future research.

“…A typical use of such information is for an application to take some action when a user crosses the "threshold" of a place. For example, GeoNotes [5] will present relevant notes, and uLocate(www.uLocate.com) can notify a "watching" user that a "watched" user has crossed a "geofence".…”

“…Sentient Graffiti is a Web 2.0-based platform also following the UW approach, but emphasizing the need to minimize the deployment requirements (making use of off-the-shelf hardware and sensing technology) on the environments and stressing the importance of user collaboration. CoolTown did not deal with the communicatory, social and navigational implication of the mass usage of a context-aware information system, as it is the case of SG and other related research such as GeoNotes [4] or InfoRadar [13].…”

“…Some good examples are stick-e notes [1], GeoNotes, Active Campus [4], CoolTown, InfoRadar, Place-Its [15], Mobile Bristol [6] or Semapedia [14]. A common feature of these projects addressed to non-or lightly-instrumented environments has been the adoption of the "virtual Post-It metaphor".…”

Context-aware systems allow users to access services and multimedia data according to their current context (location, identity, preferences). We deem that applying Web 2.0 and Ubiquitous Web concepts as guiding principles to design middleware infrastructure may ease the development and deployment of context-aware systems and, so, result in a wider adoption of intelligent environments. Our work combines social context-aware annotation of objects and spatial regions with sentient mobile devices in order to enable advanced context-aware data and service discovery, filtering and consumption for both indoor and outdoor environments.

Location- And Context-Awareness

Abstract. In this paper we present an approach for exploiting knowledge about features in the real world in order to compute visibility of buildings. This is performed with the awareness of the inconsistencies and lack of accuracy in both mapping technology and GPS positioning in urban spaces. Electronic tourist guide systems typically recommend locations and sometimes provide navigation information. We have augmented this system to exploit visibility knowledge about neighbouring physical features
