Intuitive computing methods and systems
TL;DR: A smart phone senses audio, imagery, and/or other stimulus from a user's environment, and acts autonomously to fulfill inferred or anticipated user desires as discussed by the authors, and can apply more or less resources to an image processing task depending on how successfully the task is proceeding or based on the user's apparent interest in the task.

Localization algorithms of Wireless Sensor Networks: a survey
TL;DR: The localization algorithms are reclassified with a new perspective based on the mobility state of landmarks and unknown nodes, and a detailed analysis of the representative localization algorithms is presented.
Context Representation and Reasoning in Pervasive Computing: a Review
TL;DR: The aim is to provide a thorough survey of the state of the art in context representation and reasoning in the field of pervasive and context-aware computing.
Journal ArticleDOI
What we do – and don’t – know about the Smart Home: An analysis of the Smart Home literature:
TL;DR: The state of the art in the Smart Home research in a systematic way is visualized and a business model framework is applied that helps researchers place their work within a broader context and identify gaps in the existing body of knowledge in this area.

Data Management within mHealth Environments: Patient Sensors, Mobile Devices, and Databases
John O'Donoghue,John Herbert +1 more
TL;DR: A careful, precise approach to data based on the quality of the data and the context of its use is demonstrated, and the DMS architecture and the role of software agents in providing quality data management are emphasised.

The Computer for the 21st Century
TL;DR: Consider writing, perhaps the first information technology: The ability to capture a symbolic representation of spoken language for long-term storage freed information from the limits of individual memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding and Using Context
TL;DR: An operational definition of context is provided and the different ways in which context can be used by context-aware applications are discussed, including the features and abstractions in the toolkit that make the task of building applications easier.

A conceptual framework and a toolkit for supporting the rapid prototyping of context-aware applications
TL;DR: A conceptual framework is presented that separates the acquisition and representation of context from the delivery and reaction to context by a context-aware application, and a toolkit is built that instantiates this conceptual framework and supports the rapid development of a rich space of context- aware applications.

Microphone Arrays Signal Processing Techniques and Applications
M.S. Brandstein,Darren Ward +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling architecture for microphone Array Processing that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of manually shaping Microphone Arrays for Speech Input in Automobiles.
