Context-Driven Pervasive and Personalized Information Management

Abstract

The creation of intelligent pervasive spaces is one of the most interesting opportunities offered by pervasive systems: social and physical ambients can be created with the aid of ICT technologies, providing enhanced capabilities for humans to interact with the surrounding environment. In general, these features are useful for providing security services, energy management, water and pollution control or to create assisted-living ambients for impaired or elderly people, but constitute also proactive and intelligent supports to novel applications in traffic management.
