Title
Middleware for context sensitive mobile applications
Abstract
Contextual information such as spatial location can significantly enhance the utility of mobile applications. We introduce the concept of active preferences that represent a combination of user preference information and choices combined with spatial or temporal information. Active preferences set the policy on how a mobile application should customise its behaviour not just for a particular user but as that user moves to different locations and interacts with other mobile users or with fixed location base stations. We discuss technical issues for establishing a middleware infrastructure to aid experimentation and describe our prototype testbed.
