Context-Awareness System
Paulo Costa, Bruno V. Gonçalves, Luis Miguel Botelho · Birkhäuser Basel eBooks · 2008
Computer application basic inputs, such as keyboard strokes or pointing devices, supply only limited information about the surrounding environment. The necessity of context information grows as applications need to adapt to the environment in which they are used. This adaptation increases the application’s performance and makes sure that the results are well adapted to the specific circumstances. The main objective of context-aware computing is the development of applications that, without being limited by usual input devices, acquire and use context information to better adapt to the circumstances in which interactions take place.
