Abstract

In an ambient intelligence world, devices work in order to support people carrying out their everyday life activities in a natural way. Therefore, it is necessary to know the entities in the environment and to consider new interaction schemas with them. This paper proposes an autonomous and lively mechanism to refresh the context information while users interact with the environment using Near Field Communication technology. Context Cookies is the name of the mechanism that captures situation changes and provides awareness dynamically.
