Context-awareness is an essential feature of pervasive applications, and runtime detection of contextual properties is one of the primary approaches to enabling context awareness. However, existing context-aware middleware does not provide sufficient support for detection of contextual properties in asynchronous environments. The contextual activities usually involve multiple context collecting devices, which are fully-decentralized and interact in an asynchronous manner. However, existing context consistency checking schemes do not work in asynchronous environments, since they implicitly assume the availability of a global clock or relay on synchronized interactions. To this end, we present the Middleware Infrastructure for Predicate detection in Asynchronous environments (MIPA), which supports context awareness based on logical time. Design and Structure of MIPA are explained in detail.

AbstractAll aspects of daily life increasingly include digitization. So-called „smart home“ technologies, as well as „wearables“, are gaining attention from more and more dwellers. Therefore, sensor-based, individualized, AI-based services for improved post-intervention monitoring and therapy accompaniment will become feasible and possible if these systems offer a related context-awareness. This paper provides an approach on how to sense and interpret specific contexts with the help of wearables, smartwatches, smart home sensors, and emotion detection software.

AbstractIn the Big Data era, every sector has adapted to technological development to service the vast amount of information available. In this way, each field has benefited from technological improvements over the years. The cultural and artistic field was no exception, and several studies contributed to the aim of the interaction between human beings and artistic-cultural heritage. In this scenario, systems able to analyze the current situation and recommend the right services play a crucial role. In particular, in the Recommender Systems field, Context-Awareness helps to improve the recommendations provided. This article aims to present a general overview of the introduction of Context analysis techniques in Recommender Systems and discuss some challenging applications to the Cultural Heritage field.
