...Panteleimon Rodis Purpose This paper aims to present a methodology for defining and modeling context-awareness and describing efficiently the interactions between systems, applications and their context. Also, the relation of modern context-aware systems with distributed computation...

... an app as contextual information, and how each app can identify and store contextual information. Design/methodology/approach Contexts are modeled as hierarchical objects that can be stored and shared by applications using native mechanisms. A proof-of-concept implementation of the model...

... of the Quantified Self movement. A rich variety of use cases for the behavioral and contextual information inferred from these data has emerged, context-aware mobile applications and services not among the least of them. Some of the more straightforward uses include pure GPS (Global Positioning System) coordinates...
