Abstract

We observe that context-aware systems currently developed in one domain or another are mostly technology-driven, and not so much user-centric. They are often not based on a thorough analysis of the effects they produce when interacting with their context, especially regarding the contribution of these effects to user needs. We argue that a conceptual framework is needed to support such analyses. In this paper we identify the concepts necessary to define important structural aspects of a context-aware system and its context, and to formulate generalizations about effects of the interaction of the context-aware system and its context related to user needs. Using this conceptual framework, we classify context-aware systems in terms of the kinds of context assumptions that we can make at design time, and we discuss several threats to validity of a context-aware system. We believe that the proposed conceptual framework can help to better assess the utility concerning a context-aware system design. We use various examples of context-aware applications to illustrate our ideas.
