Context-Aware Mobile Hypermedia Systems

Posted: April 17th, 2005 | No Comments »

Context-Aware Mobile Hypermedia Systems is a PhD Progress report written by Frank Allan Hansen on context-aware mobile hypermedia system (context aware browsing, search, annotations and linking). I was more interested in the way he did his work than the output itslef. He describes the different approaches to prototyping (exploratory, experimental and evolutionary) and the actual architecture and model of his HyCon service. He mentions having to drop the use of SVG and web service on the J2Me edition. He finishes by envision ways to empower the user for such context-aware systems. Finding the right balance between user controallble applications and automatically adapting systems.
