Is Group-Awareness Context-Awareness?
International Journal of e-Collaboration, 2019This article discusses the interest of emerging a unified view for group awareness and context information on groupware and context-aware systems. Group awareness corresponds to an important concept on Groupware applications, allowing individual users to be kept aware of group's activities and status.

Mobile phones have grown both in popularity as power of processing during the last years. Current trends in mobile devices are evolving into high speed networks and multiple sensors, thus, facilitating the analysis of user environments and processing. Such analysis is essential to comprehend user behavior and to provide refined adaptation.

ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2007
Interesting textures form on the surfaces of objects as the result of external chemical, mechanical, and biological agents. Simulating these textures is necessary to generate models for realistic image synthesis. The textures formed are progressively variant, with the variations depending on the global and local geometric context.

IEEE Pervasive Computing, 2011
Much of the past pervasive computing research has been devoted to systems composed of a small number of devices that interact with a single individual or a small group of users. Body-worn sensors and sensors embedded in the user's environment were used to infer user location, activity, and information about the user's immediate surroundings, shaping ...

International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS'06), 2006
A spatial proximity based spontaneous interaction approach for "shared nothing" peer-to-peer systems is proposed. Mobile peers that come spatially close to each other wirelessly exchange self describing profiles encoded in an XML dialect. Each peer individually conducts a similarity analysis of the semistructured data contained in the received profile,

2003 Autonomic Computing Workshop, 2003
This paper presents the context awareness capabilities of Amit. Amit is a tool that includes both a language and an efficient run-time execution mechanism, aimed at reducing the complexity of active applications. It follows the observation that in many cases, there is a gap between current tools that enable to react to a single event (following the ECA:

IEEE Wireless Communications, 2002
This article describes how the changing information about an individual's location, environment, and social situation can be used to initiate and facilitate people's interactions with one another, individually and in groups. Context-aware communication is contrasted with other forms of context-aware computing, and we characterize applications in terms ...
