The Anatomy of a Context-Aware Application
- WIRELESS NETWORKS, VOL
, 1999
"... We describe a platform for context-aware computing which enables applications to follow mobile users as they move around a building. The platform is particularly suitable for richly equipped, networked environments. The only item a user is required to carry is a small sensor tag, which identifies th ..."

A survey of context-aware mobile computing research
, 2000
"... Context-aware computing is a mobile computing paradigm in which applications can discover and take advantage of contextual information (such as user location, time of day, nearby people and devices, and user activity). Since it was proposed about a decade ago, many researchers have studied this topi ..."

Cyberguide: A Mobile Context-Aware Tour Guide
, 1996
"... Future computing environments will free the user from the constraints of the desktop. Applications for a mobile environment should take advantage of contextual information, suach as position, to offer greater services to the user. In his paper, we present the Cyberguide project, in which we are buil ..."

of Cyberguide prototypes developed for indoor and outdoor use on a number of different hand-held platforms. We also discuss the general research issues that have emerged in our context-aware applications development in a mobile environment.
A Conceptual Framework and a Toolkit for Supporting the Rapid Prototyping of Context-Aware Applications
, 2001
"... Computing devices and applications are now used beyond the desktop, in diverse environments, and this trend toward ubiquitous computing is accelerating. One challenge that remains in this emerging research field is the ability to enhance the behavior of any application by informing it of the context ..."

We illustrate the usefulness of the conceptual framework by describing a number of contextaware applications that h...
Context-aware Policy Matching in Event-driven Architecture
"... Applications for supporting pervasive computing and agility are the current trend in software development. The service-oriented architecture (SOA) enables connection between consumers and service providers in a loosely-coupled way to improve flexibility and extensibility. This architecture is static ..."

The Application of Petri Nets to Workflow Management
, 1998
"... Workflow management promises a new solution to an age-old problem: controlling, monitoring, optimizing and supporting business processes. What is new about workflow management is the explicit representation of the business process logic which allows for computerized support. This paper discusses the ..."

the use of Petri nets in the context of workflow management. Petri nets are an established tool for modeling and analyzing processes. On the one hand, Petri nets can be used as a design language for the specification of complex workflows. On the other hand, Petri net theory provides for powerful analysis
Towards Context-aware Workflows
- CAISE´07 PROCEEDINGS OF THE WORKSHOPS AND DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM
, 2007
"... Context-aware applications adapt their behavior based on changes of the physical world, which is often obtained with a huge amount of sensors. Thus, the development of such applications is cumbersome, in particular the implementation of their often complex control flow. To ease the development of co ..."

of context-aware applications we present the concept of context-aware workflows. Thereafter we present an implementation of these concepts based on a standard workflow language. Context-aware workflows are not only interesting for the development of context-aware applications, but also enable workflow
A Survey on Context-aware systems
- INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AD HOC AND UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING
