TL;DR: Context awareness is the discipline that brings together technologies for extracting data about the larger human context and reasoning with that data at scale to make the benefits of contextualization as pervasive in the authors' lives as technology itself.
Abstract: The holy grail of search is intent; of browsing, scent; and of classification, meaning. Each of these pillar technologies of the information age therefore depends critically on extracting and mining human context. Context awareness is the discipline that brings together technologies for extracting data about the larger human context and reasoning with that data at scale. It seeks to make the benefits of contextualization as pervasive in our lives as technology itself.

TL;DR: By separating binding concerns from application logic, the Colomba approach exploits metadata to let mobile applications adapt to dynamic environments.
Abstract: By separating binding concerns from application logic, the Colomba approach exploits metadata to let mobile applications adapt to dynamic environments Colomba separates service logic from binding management This permits developers to code, change, and reuse service components and binding strategies independently of each other Administrators can express binding strategies at a high level of abstraction in terms of declarative policies In particular, Colomba supports a dynamic binding management that requires: Context awareness is the knowledge of application-specific attributes, such as user preferences, level of trust, subscribed services, and access device characteristics Users can refer to a set of resources determined by context information Location awareness is the knowledge of the physical position of the user or device connection to the network infrastructure Available resources depend on location information

TL;DR: A context-aware semantic service discovery architecture designed to perform distributed service discovery in heterogeneous networks is proposed, which is technology independent and compatible with most of the existent service discovery protocols.
Abstract: In the last few years telecommunications and Internet have spread all over the world, in a pervasive way, connecting millions of devices, people, sensors and services without a planned strategy. In such scenario the discovery of services represent still an open challenging research field. To address that problem this paper proposes a context-aware semantic service discovery architecture designed to perform distributed service discovery in heterogeneous networks. This novel architecture is technology independent and compatible with most of the existent service discovery protocols; it inherits and extends the results of the last research groups in the field of context-aware service discovery based on the use of semantic languages. The present work presents the first results of the service discovery design activity which has been carried out within DAIDALOS II (Designing Advanced network Interfaces for the Delivery and Administration of Location independent, Optimised personal Services), a project granted in the European 6th Framework Research Programme, within the IST (Information Society and Technology) thematic area.

TL;DR: A graph-based context-aware requirement elicitation approach considering contextual information within the Smart PSS is proposed, which leverages the pre-defined product, service, and condition ontologies together with Deepwalk technique, to formulate those concepts as nodes and their relationships as the edge of the proposed requirement graph.
Abstract: The paradigm of Smart product-service systems (Smart PSS) has emerged recently owing to the edge-cutting Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. ...
