Context-Aware Loading for Mobile Applications

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 5186))

Abstract

The dynamic adaptability to the current context of the user is one of the most important challenges to a context-aware mobile application since context decides on the available services. In this paper, we present an approach, which supports dynamic loading of the different elements of a mobile application. This includes context sensors, adapted input and output components, or the business logic required for the use of a context-aware service.
