In order to make context-aware systems more effective and provide timely, personalized and
relevant information to a user, the context or situation of the user must be clearly defined …

Pervasive applications are involving more and more autonomous computing and
communicating devices, augmented with the abilities of sensing and controlling the …

A large volume of research in ubiquitous systems has been devoted to using data, that has
been sensed from users' smartphones, to infer their current high level context and activities …

Whereas the majority of works and research about context-awareness in ubiquitous
computing provide context models that make use of context features in a particular …

As feature sizes shrink to deep sub-micron, the performance of VLSI chips becomes
dominated by the interconnect delay. In a traditional top-down design flow, logic synthesis …

A context-aware system uses context to provide relevant information and services to the
user, where relevancy depends on the user's situation. This relevant information could …

It is well recognized that context plays a significant role in all human endeavors. All
decisions are based on information which has to be interpreted in context. By making …

The context life cycle demonstrates how context information moves around each phase into
a system, from context modeling until context dissemination. The modeling phase turns …
