“…Both systems explored Infra Red (IR) technology for indoor positioning. CRUMPET (Schmidt-Belz et al, 2003) used PDAs for providing dynamic and interactive maps that showed the current position, recommendations, information about attractions, and visiting tips. In this system, positioning was based on GPS data.…”

“…Over the last decade, several mobile systems have been developed and evaluated with field experiments -examples include the system for the CRUMPET EU-IST project [Schmidt-Belz et al, 2003], the AmbieSense EU-IST project [Myrhaug et al, 2004a, Göker andMyrhaug, 2007] and MOBILEWARD [Kjeldskov et al, 2005]. The field of mobile and ubiquitous computing also hosts specialised conferences such as Mobile HCI [Nieminen and Röykkee, 2006] that generally encourages the methodology of evaluations in the field.…”

Effective methods for information access are of the greatest importance for our modern lives -- particularly with respect to handheld devices. Personalisation is one such method which models a user's characteristics to deliver content more focused to the user's needs. The emerging area of sophisticated mobile computing devices has started to inspire new forms of personalised systems that include aspects of the person's contextual environment. This thesis seeks to understand the role of personalisation and context, to evaluate the effectiveness of context for content personalisation and to investigate the event and map content domain for mobile usage. The work presented in this thesis has three parts. The first part is a user experiment on context that investigated the contextual attributes of time, location and interest, with respect to participants' perception of their usefulness. Results show highly dynamic and interconnected effects of context on participants' usefulness ratings. In the second part , these results were applied to create a predictive model of context that was related to attribution theory and then combined with an information retrieval score to create a weighted personalisation model. In the third part of this work, the personalisation model was applied in a mobile experiment. Participants solved situational search tasks using a (i) non-personalized and a (ii) personalized mobile information system, and rating entertainment events based on usefulness. Results showed that the personalised system delivered about 20% more useful content to the mobile user than the non-personalised system, with some indication for reduced search effort in terms of time and the amount of queries per task. The work presented provides evidence for the promising potential of context to facilitate personalised information delivery to users of mobile devices. Overall, it serves as an example of an investigation into the effectiveness of context from multiple angles and provides a potential link to some of the aspects of psychology as a potential source for a deeper understanding of contextual processes in humans.

“…Similar proposals are also embodied in [2] and commercial products at IBM, ORACLE and Microsoft. In CRUMPET project [6], client-mediator-server three-tier approach was employed to improve the context-aware interactions between the user and services. Crucial components for knowledgeable LBS are those supporting semantic interoperability and data reusability.…”

Advances in Conceptual Modeling – Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract. Knowledgable Location-based Services (LBS) aim at enabling mobile users to specify their requests and profiles on the move and providing them with context-aware and personalized local information relevant to their current activity and request. Therefore, it opens up new challenges in data infrastructure, knowledge representations and data management etc. In this paper, firstly we will discuss the characteristics of LBS in terms of data management, and then present our data architecture. Finally, we will explain how the knowledge is incrementally set up and maintained in a modular manner.
