The homepage of JCAF, a framework for developing context-aware applications.
"Solar is a middleware platform to help these "context-aware" applications aggregate desired context fom heterogeneous sources and to locate environmental services depending on the current context."
ContextPhone is an open-source prototyping platform for context-aware mobile applications.
"In this essay, we look at the tradeoffs involved with a service infrastructure approach to context-aware computing. We describe the advantages that a service infrastructure for context awareness has over other approaches, outline some of the core technical challenges that must be addressed before such an infrastructure can be built, and point out promising research directions for overcoming these challenges."
"Location-based information systems allow the user to access information in relation to the user.s position in geographical space."
"In this article, we explore the vision that has driven the ubiquitous computing research agenda and the contemporary practice that has emerged."
"Using grounded contextual fieldwork with dual-income families, we describe the control that families want, and suggest seven design principles that will help end-user programming systems deliver that control."
"We describe findings from three studies – in-home interviews, a questionnaire about home sensors, and interviews with commercial smart home installers – that explore current experiences with sensors and technologies in the home. These lead us to reflect on the implicit assumptions in, and future design directions for, pervasive research for the home."
"VisualRDK is a specialized graphical programming language thatprovides simple yet powerful constructs to master common programming tasks of pervasive computing applications."
"end-users do not need to write program code, or follow a rigid sequential list of actions in order to achieve results Rather they only need to show the system the required behaviour via physical interactions with the environment."
"We describe the study we conducted to understand end-users’ mental models of context-aware applications, how this impacted the design of our system and several applications that demonstrate iCAP’s richness and ease of use."
"Users "program" their desired context-aware behavior (situation and associated action) in situ, without writing any code, by demonstrating it to a CAPpella and by annotating the relevant portions of the demonstration."
