Reframing the design of context-aware computing
Margot F. Brereton, Hadi Mirisaee, Sunil Ghelawat, Paul Roe · Electronic workshops in computing · 2011
From location-aware computing to mining the social web, representations of context have promised to make better software applications. The opportunities and challenges of context-aware computing from representational, situated and interactional perspectives have been well documented, but arguments from the perspective of design are somewhat disparate. This paper draws on both theoretical perspectives and a design framing, using the problem of designing a social mobile agile ridesharing system, in order to reflect upon and call for broader design approaches for context-aware computing and human-computer Interaction research in general.
