Context Aware Browser
I will present the Context Aware Browser, a novel paradigm for context-aware access to Web contents with mobile devices. The idea is to allow automatic download of Web pages, and even automatic execution of Web applications, on user\u27s own mobile device.
The Web resources are not simply pushed on the mobile device; rather, they are selected on the basis of the context the user is in: context data (mainly location, but not only) are used to build a query sent to an external search engine, that selects the most relevant Web content.
I will describe the idea, provide some examples, show a video of a recently built prototype, present implementation issues, discuss our specific evaluation methodology and the results, and sketch future work and problems. This is an ongoing project, started about five years ago; it is joint work with the Context Aware and Mobile Systems laboratory (smdc.uniud.it) and the MoBe spinoff (www.mobe.it) at Udine University
On Mobile Bluetooth Tags
This paper presents a new approach for hyper-local data sharing and delivery
on the base of discoverable Bluetooth nodes. Our approach allows customers to
associate user-defined data with network nodes and use a special mobile
application (context-aware browser) for presenting this information to mobile
users in proximity. Alternatively, mobile services can request and share local
data in M2M applications rely on network proximity. Bluetooth nodes in cars are
among the best candidates for the role of the bearing nodes.Comment: submitted to FRUCT-17 conference (http://fruct.org
context aware retrieval going social
In this paper we present the Social Context-Aware Browser, a general purpose solution to Web content perusal by means of mobile devices. This is not just a new kind of application, but it is a novel approach for the information access based on the users' context. With the aim of overtaking the limits in current approaches to context-awareness, our solution exploits the collaborative efforts of the whole community of users to control and manage contextual knowledge, related both to situations and resources. This paper presents a general survey of our solution, describing the idea and some scenarios, presenting the model to information access, open problems and future challenges
Towards social paradigms for mobile context-aware computing in smart cities
Ponència presentada a la 11ª Conferencia Ibérica de Sistemas y Tecnologías de Información (CISTI 2016) celebrada a Gran Canaria els dies 15-18 de juny de 2016Mobile context-aware computing is an essential
component of the smart cities infrastructure. Attempts
were made to develop a model that can effectively
represent a system in device to support context-aware
behavior. The purpose of this paper is to identify
deficiencies of the previously developed model and propose
solutions to improve it.The authors gratefully acknowledge funding from the

Sociology Paradigms for Dynamic Integration of Devices into a Context-Aware System
Ubiquitous and m
obile context
-
aware computing is an essential component of the smart cities
infrastructure. Widely available wireless networks, the maturity level of distributed computing and the
increasing number of mobile devices have significantly influenced the human
experience with computing.
In the present paper, we discuss the need for a model that will be able to represent a formal structure of a
context
-
aware system in a device
.
The core functionality of the model is expected to expose context
-
aware
behaviour and
support dynamic integration of mobile devices and context
-
aware behaviour. The major
contribution of this work is to identify deficiencies of the existing model which is using the notions from
sociology such as Role, Ownership and Responsibility.The authors gratefully acknowledge funding from the European Commission through the GEO-C project

09101 Abstracts Collection -- Interactive Information Retrieval
From 01.03. to 06.03.2009, the Dagstuhl Seminar 09101 ``Interactive Information Retrieval \u27\u27 was held in Schloss Dagstuhl~--~Leibniz Center for Informatics.
During the seminar, several participants presented their current
research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of
the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of
seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper. The first section
describes the seminar topics and goals in general.

Inferencia de contexto en aplicaciones móviles inteligente
El presente artículo propone un modelo de un sistema basado en técnicas de inteligencia artificial para inferir el contexto del usuario y optimizar el desarrollo de aplicaciones dependientes del contexto en los dispositivos móviles. En el documento se analiza la viabilidad de la aplicación de las redes neuronales artificiales en la optimización de este tipo de aplicaciones; el objetivo es construir un marco general de inferencia alternativo a los ya existentes, con el fin de proporcionar una infraestructura básica para facilitar el desarrollo de aplicaciones dependientes del contexto (contextaware), mediante la integración de la información procedente del entorno
