ABSTRACT
To fully exploit the strengths and potential of the today's mobile devices, context-awareness needs to be incorporated into the very essence of mobile computing. But today's mobile computing approaches either fail to do so, or do it in a very limited way. At the same time, current research efforts in context-awareness fail to consider context as a dynamic construct, and is unable to offer a holistic treatment of context-awareness that includes an active role for the user. Our hypothesis is that to make context-awareness more intuitive and productive to the mobile user, the notion of context needs to be user-centric. In this research, we explore a novel, general form of context-aware mobile computing that is activity-driven, and where context dynamically arises from the user's activity.
