Sharat Khungar, Jukka P. Riekki · ACM SIGMOBILE Mobile Computing and Communications Review · 2005

In this paper, we describe a novel context based storage system that use context to manage user data and make it available to him based on his situation. First, we examine several existing systems that use context with documents. Subsequently, a new storage system is presented that uses context to aid in the capture of and access to documents in mobile environment. We describe file browser and calendar applications that we have developed within our mobile computing infrastructure utilizing the features of context based storage. Novel features of our system include the access rights mechanism for data and support for group activity.
