Usage Scenario

Abstract

In distributed and dynamic context-aware environments, applications need to specify context interests of variable wideness. This chapter presents a scenario for a context-aware application in a distributed environment which considers migration cross networks, context domains, heterogeneity, and interaction with various context providers. The scenario demonstrates aspects of actual ubiquitous applications, such as interoperation across diverse environments of context-aware computing. The application is a location-aware messaging application, and it is applied to a tourist scenario.
