People have become an important factor in securing the information technology environment. They need to be made aware of its importance, as well as what their role is in securing information assets. Despite the widespread acceptance of this fact many organisations still lack an information security awareness program to instil this knowledge. This paper will explore the possibility of improving ...

In combat simulations target classification and identification are very important. In this research area several studies about simulating identification have been done, most of them take a set of information like “the target is visually identified hostile” to start the simulation with. Mostly classification is not taken into account in identification problems. In this report the input consists ...

Today’s organizations have become so dependant on information resources that even the effects of a single information security incident could be devastating. Increasing Information Security awareness is the most costeffective control that an organization can implement. However, most organizations do not have the necessary financial or knowledge resources needed for a comprehensive awareness edu...

Context aware services have the ability to utilize information about the user’s context and adapt services to a user’s current situation and needs. In this article the authors consider users’ perceptions of the added value of location awareness and presence information in mobile services. The authors use an experimental design, where stimuli comprising specific bundles of mobile services were p...

This study assesses reactions to a wiki enhanced with context-aware features that enable users to learn about people, places, and events in their proximity. In a physically compact enclave such as the urban university in which this wiki is being implemented, context-aware applications can support a hybrid community in which individuals develop and sustain physical and virtual social ties. Parti...

Awareness support is increasingly receiving attention within CSCW research. The idea of awareness support is that systems provide members of a group with information about the behavior of other group members in order to create a notion of awareness of what others are doing. As in natural settings, peripheral monitoring and explicit display can be valuable resources for collaboration (Dourish, 1...

Physical location of users in a multi-agent system is crucial in order to provide them with context -awareness services. A context -aware system can answer to the requests of its users in a more effective way, being able of consider the conditioners that affect them. In this paper we focus in how to provide a FIPA multiagent system with a generic location service for users. We discuss several a...

In ubiquitous computing systems it is important for applications to obtain context information and adapt their behavior according to context information. For a ubiquitous application to obtain and use context information, it is necessary to provide basic services to discover proper context providers and exchange/store/infer from context information. Moreover, when providing such services, non-f...
