CAPIM: A context-aware platform using integrated mobile services
Ciprian Dobre, Flavius Manea, Valentin Cristea · 2011
As smartphones integrate more sensors and provide larger computing capacities, they enable a shift towards massive quantities of real-time information becoming access push rather than demand pull on a global case. We present a platform for supporting generic context-aware mobile applications. It is composed of a monitoring layer, capable of collecting and aggregating data from various sensors related to the mobile phone, a rule execution engine capable of supporting context-aware workflows, and an application layer capable of supporting the interface between mobile applications and the human operator. We present the architectural decisions of our solutions, together with implementations details and experimental evaluation results. Our solution is fully functional and can be used in a variety of context-aware situations.
