Mobile context-awareness

Abstract

Mobile context-awareness is a popular research trend in the field in ubiquitous computing. Advances in mobile device sensory hardware and the rise of 'virtual' sensors such as web APIs mean that the mobile user is exposed to a vast range of data that can be used for new advanced applications. This workshop allows industrial and academic researchers to present work focusing on novel methods of context acquisition in the mobile environment -particularly through the use of physical and virtual sensors -along with research into new applications utilising this context. In addition, the workshop will encourage insights, into the technical and usability challenges in mobile context-awareness, as well as observations on current and future trends in the field.

“…Context-awareness is a technical combination of multiple components, such as location services, analytics and sensors, to let the device know its current surroundings and thematic context (Lovett and O'Neill, 2012). It is not limited to geographic information but represents the overall concept of context-oriented data and information.…”
