چکیده
Understanding the context of use is crucial in developing successful applications for mobile devices. However, filtering the relevant information from the vast amount of context data is often challenging. We have noticed that collecting participants’ own stories and utilizing context categories in data collection and analysis pave the way to effective utilization of the most important context information for mobile application development.

متن کاملMobile Robot Online Motion Planning Using Generalized Voronoi Graphs
In this paper, a new online robot motion planner is developed for systematically exploring unknown environ¬ments by intelligent mobile robots in real-time applications. The algorithm takes advantage of sensory data to find an obstacle-free start-to-goal path. It does so by online calculation of the Generalized Voronoi Graph (GVG) of the free space, and utilizing a combination of depth-first an...

The development of methodologies and techniques to evaluate smartphones usability is an emerging topic in the scientific community and triggers discussions about which methodology is most appropriate. The lack of consensus is due to the inherent difficulty on capturing context data in the scenarios where the experiments take place and on relating them to the results found. This work aims at cor...
متن کاملChallenges in the Development of Context-Inference Systems for Mobile Applications
Communication and service providers strive to offer (and charge for) added-value services that leverage contextual user information such as current location and/or activity (e.g., walking, running, sitting). Obtaining this information and accurately determining the user context poses many practical and implementation challenges, making the development of context-aware applications notoriously d...
