Reviews & Statements

The book relies upon a huge research in context-awareness domain during past decade which establish fundamental context-related definitions and principles, methods for context sensing and acquisition, context modeling and storage, as well as development of context-aware applications based on context frameworks. This book follows this line of research and development by presenting and describing up-to-date research and development issues in the context-aware computing community.
