We introduce Xipho, an agent-oriented methodology for engineering context-aware
personal agents (CPAs). Xipho extends Tropos to support CPA development. Xipho's steps …

We propose a novel approach to address the problem of the recognition of important
locations. Our method is organised in two phases: first, a set of candidate stay points is …

The Platys project focuses on developing a high-level, semantic notion of location called
place. A place, unlike a geospatial position, derives its meaning from a user's actions and …

Due to the widespread of mobile devices in recent years, records of the locations visited by
users are common and growing, and the availability of such large amounts of spatio …

In recent years, the widespread of mobile devices has made easier and popular the
activities of recording locations visited by users and of inferring their trajectories. The …

As location-based applications increase in scope and variety, engineering them to deliver a
high-quality user experience becomes increasingly important. The authors describe how …

A personal agent acts and interacts on behalf of its human user. We envision a computing
infrastructure in which autonomous personal agents realize social applications similar to …
