چکیده
We describe an application used to share context and build common ground between nearby users. Our application runs on mobile devices and allows users securely to exchange the contents of their address books. This exchange reveals only which entries are common to the two users. We explore the use of our application using both Bluetooth and NFC as an underlying technology. Finally, we present the results of a small user study we have

متن کاملPeer-to-peer Framework for Mobile Learning with Context-aware Services
Peer-to-peer (P2P) and mobile technologies enable the integration between face-to-face and virtual communities, allowing users to experiment new models of learning and to contextualize them to their physical space or time. In this work we describe our view of a P2P e-learning community (PEC), and propose a taxonomy for context-aware e-learning services. Moreover, we illustrate how P2P mechanism...
