Information derived from wearable sensors, such as illness/fall alarms, can be enhanced with context information to provide advanced health care and assisted living applications. In this paper we describe an architecture that combines sensor and context data into a telecommunication service to detect emergency situations and generate alarm calls according to user’s preferences and contacts geog...

Many context-aware applications exploit current world contexts to control information access and service adaptation. To support a user centric utility model for a context-aware system, user goals are supported by the system. However, traditional goal-based approaches such as planning are hard to achieve in a context-aware environment because environments and systems are dynamic. This can lead t...

The success of experience-based approaches depends on how well the reuse process helps the engineer to bridge the gap between the experience package to be reused and the current needs. The level of understanding impacts the application of an experience package in a new situation. In addition, learning is considered to be a fundamental part of knowledge management and experience management becau...

This paper addresses the design of a collaborative virtual work environment for (landscape) architects. More specifically, it uses ethnographic studies of work practice for exploring the metaphor of Manufaktur as a space populated by workplaces, tools, materials, people, exchanges with the outside world, and links between these different elements. We conceive of the Manufaktur as a space, which...

This work describes the design and the experimentation of Castor, a novel architecture for creating, editing and delivering engaging geolocalized context-aware stories outdoors. Castor is one of the first architectures that enable the direct creation of structured stories in-situ, rather than the simple gathering of material, and that use an extended set of context dimensions (i.e., environment...

It sounds good when knowing the context aware mobile computing affordances of space social awareness and social influence synthesis lectures on human centered informatics in this website. This is one of the books that many people looking for. In the past, many people ask about this book as their favourite book to read and collect. And now, we present hat you need quickly. It seems to be so happ...

Designing Context-aware Mobile Patient Monitoring Frameworks (CMPMF) is an emerging study in the biomedical informatics domain. However, literature on this topic is fragmented: first, there are no categories in the literature to characterize these CMPMF; second, there are no success factors that must be satisfied to enhance the design of these CMPMF; third, there is a need for a research agenda...

The prosperous development of wireless communication and sensor technologies has attracted the attention of researchers from both computer and education fields. Various investigations have been made for applying the new technologies to education purposes, such that more active and adaptive learning activities can be conducted in the real world. Nowadays, ubiquitous learning (u-learning) has bec...

Often context-aware systems consider the environment a defined element. Meanwhile reality is full of vagueness and uncertainty. Taking into account these aspects we can provide a more grounded and precise picture of the environment, creating context-aware systems that are more flexible and reliable. It also provides a more accurate inference process, making possible to consider the quality of t...
