Context-Aware Telecommunication Services

چکیده
This chapter describes how the changing information about an individual’s location, environment, and social situation can be used to initiate and facilitate people’s interactions with one another, individually and in groups. Context-aware communication is contrasted with other forms of context-aware computing and we characterize applications in terms of design decisions along two dimensions: the extent of autonomy in context sensing and the extent of autonomy in communication action. A number of context-aware communication applications from the research literature are presented in five application categories. Finally, a number of issues related to the design of context-aware communication applications are presented.
