This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the advent of ubiquitous computing environments it has become increasingly important for applications to take full advantage of Context aware computing to increase the satisfaction of the users in context aware environment services. Also with the increasing amount of research on Interactive Context Aware Applications like Context Aware TV, Context Aware Mobile, Context Aware Living Room, etc, users are interacting with them in an ever more convenient way. Currently, the programming of context-aware applications is complex and laborious. Even though the number of context aware applications is increasing day by day along with the users, till today there is no generic modeling and programming paradigm for context aware applications. This situation could be remedied by design and developing the appropriate modeling as a base for context aware programming paradigm. The book discusses the basic version of different types of proposed context oriented modeling approach for facilitating the programming of user context aware applications or in general context aware applications. Each type of modeling technique is explained using the proposed set of graphical notations and diagrams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ever-increasing technological advances in embedded systems engineering, together with the proliferation of small-size sensor design and deployment, have enabled mobile devices (e.g., smartphones) to recognize daily occurring human based actions, activities and interactions. Therefore, inferring a vast variety of mobile device user based activities from a very diverse context obtained by a series of sensory observations has drawn much interest in the research area of ubiquitous sensing. The existence and awareness of the context provides the capability of being conscious of physical environments or situations around mobile device users, and this allows network services to respond proactively and intelligently based on such awareness. Hence, with the evolution of smartphones, software developers are empowered to create context aware applications for recognizing human-centric or community based innovative social and cognitive activities in any situation and from anywhere. This leads to the exciting vision of forming a society of [grave][grave]Internet of Things" which facilitates applications to encourage users to collect, analyze and share local sensory knowledge in the purpose for a large scale community use by creating a smart network which is capable of making autonomous logical decisions to actuate environmental objects. More significantly, it is believed that introducing the intelligence and situational awareness into recognition process of human-centric event patterns could give a better understanding of human behaviors, and it also could give a chance for proactively assisting individuals in order to enhance the quality of lives. Mobile devices supporting emerging computationally pervasive applications will constitute a significant part of future mobile technologies by providing highly proactive services requiring continuous monitoring of user related contexts.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent convergence of ubiquitous computing and context-aware computing has seen a considerable rise in interest that exploit aspects of the contextual environment to enhance implicit user interaction, offer services, present information, tailor application behavior or trigger adaptation. However, as a result of the lack of generic mechanisms for supporting context-awareness, context-aware applications remain very difficult to build and developers must deal with a wide range of issues related to representing, sensing, aggregating, storing, querying and reasoning of context. In order to remedy this situation, there is a need for better understanding of the design process associated with context-aware applications, architectural support for the entire context processing flow, and improved programming abstractions that ease the prototyping of applications.This research in context-aware computing has focused on the architectural support for context-aware application development. This dissertation presents a set of requirements for context-aware applications, based on wich we designed and implemented our architectural support, including an ontology-based context model, a context-aware architecture (namely Context Aware Explorer) and a set of programming abstractions. This research reported here is investigating : how context can be acquired, ditributed, and used and how it changes human computer interaction in Ubiquitous Computing. The Context Aware Explorer includes common steps required to build context applications (acquisition, interpretation, presentation, reasoning and application), thus it ensures the adaptation situated at the level of User Environment Interaction. The case study, Assistive Environment, validates our work, and illustrates, in concrete form, the process and issues involved in the design of context-aware software. Finally, the research presents an overview of how Ubiquitous Computing systems can be evaluated. Different techniques are assessed, and the concept of probing users and developers with prototypes is presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ubiquitous computing the environment constraints are often regarded as static and software applications are allowed to function in a mobile ecospace. However, in context-aware systems the environment attributes of software applications are dynamically changing. This dynamism of contexts must be accounted for in order to provide the true intended effect on the application of services. Consequently, context-aware software applications should perceive their context in a continuous manner and seamlessly adapt to it. This thesis investigates the process of constructing context-aware applications and identifies the main challenges in this domain. The two principal requirements are (1) formally defining what context is and expressing the enclosed semantics, (2) formally defining dynamic compositions of adaptations and triggering their responses to changes in the environment context. This thesis proposes a component-based architecture for a Context-aware Framework that would be used to bring awareness capabilities into applications. Two languages are formally designed. One is to formally express situations, leading to a context reasoner, and another is to formally express workflow, leading to timely triggering of reactions and enforcing policies. With these formalisms and a component design that can be formalized, the thesis work fulfills a formal approach to construct context-aware applications. A proof-ofconcept case study is implemented to examine the expressiveness of the framework design and test its implementation.
