Context Aware Design: Bridging the Gap from Frameworks to Practice

For nearly a decade, researchers had struggled with a widely accepted definition of context. Recently, the definition proposed by Dey, et al. provided a theoretical foundation for future research in context related area. The problem researchers face now is how to use such a general framework in practice. My dissertation will investigate the gap between the existing framework and practical design. I believe that this question could be partially addressed through the relationships among different dimensions of context. I will investigate these issues in a speech-based application with a particular focus on speech-based error specification technique.
