What is Context-Awareness

1.

This term refers to the idea that computers can both sense, and react based on their environment. Devices may have information about the circumstances under which they are able to operate and based on rules, or an intelligent stimulus, react accordingly. One goal of context-aware computing is to acquire and utilize information about the context of a device to provide services that are appropriate to the particular people, place, time, events, and so forth. Context-awareness is fine in theory. The research issue is figuring out how to get it to work in practice. The problems for human-computer interaction, in particular, are significant ones. Context-aware computing completely redefines the basic notions of interface and interaction. Actually, context-awareness is used to design innovative user interfaces, and is often used as a part of ubiquitous and wearable computing. It is also beginning to be felt in the internet with the advent of hybrid search engines Learn more in: Context Modelling Approaches for Mobile Systems

Systems that are capable of interpreting data coming from sensors are said to be context-aware. Context is typically defined as a “situation of use” in ubicomp and interaction design. A context-aware device is capable of recognizing the situation of its use (e.g. the user, the location, the time) and adapts its behavior accordingly.

Context-Awareness herein refers to the analysis of one geographic phenomenon in the context of another from a geo-sensing perspective. Examples include the analysis of collective human mobility in the context of certain weather conditions. Thus, Context-Awareness is strongly linked to Environment-Human Interaction ( Sagl et al. 2012a , Sagl & Blaschke 2014 AU73: The citation "Sagl & Blaschke 2014" matches multiple references. Please add letters (e.g. "Smith 2000a"), or additional authors to the citation, to uniquely match references and citations. ).
