Abstract
Context-awareness is a maturing area within the field of ubiquitous computing. It is particularly relevant to the growing sub-field of mobile computing as a user’s context changes more rapidly when a user is mobile, and interacts with more devices and people in a greater number of locations. In this chapter, we present a definition of context and context-awareness and describe its importance to human-computer interaction and mobile computing. We describe some of the difficulties in building context-aware applications and the solutions that have arisen to address these. Despite these solutions, users have difficulties in using and adopting mobile context-aware applications. We discuss these difficulties and present a set of eight design guidelines that can aid application designers in producing more usable and useful mobile context-aware applications.

Understanding User Experience
A process where interfaces are created to promote behaviours that are influenced by users as well as influencing users at the same time. It allows for an observation of how users interact with user interfaces in an effort to learn user behaviour.

Design for Mobile Learning in Museums
Interaction design is a sub-discipline of the design notion which aims to examine the role of embedded behaviors and intelligence in physical and virtual spaces as well as the convergence of physical and digital products. In particular, interaction design is concerned with a user experience flow through time and is typically informed by user research design with an emphasis on behavior as well as form. Interaction design is evaluated in terms of functionality, usability and emotional factors.

Transposing, Transforming, and Transcending Tradition in Creative Digital Media
Design of the functionality of artworks which reveal themselves over time – visitors do not at once perceive all that the work has to offer, but discover its full potential gradually, actively participating in its exploration/construction. The design of the interaction is an essential part of the design both of the artwork and of the interactors’ experience of it. For example, using sensitive dependence on initial conditions, effective interaction design can free many elements of the work/experience from authorial control without relinquishing coherence, by playfully engaging the interactor in the creative process, to deliver creative as well as aesthetic and narrative satisfaction.
