A New Location-Aware Calendar-Based Application for Dynamic Minimum Path Trip Planning

The convergence of several trends, including the proliferation of mobile, cloud technologies, social media, and socio-economic trends such as bring your own device (BYOD), have led to not only the democratization of computing but also to information overload. This creates an opportunity for pattern recognition and ‘Big Data’ technologies to support mobile ‘context-aware’ computing where technology understands human intentions, and effectively ‘disappears’. In this short paper we explore, through the development of an Android-based test application, one of the capabilities of this computing paradigm, which to the best of our knowledge has not been explored. Namely, we explore the complexity of dynamic calendar based minimum path computing.
