Instant sharing of user-generated video recordings has become a widely used service on platforms such as YouNow, Facebook.Live or uStream. Yet, providing such services with a high QoE for viewers is still challenging, given that mobile upload speed and capacities are limited, and the recording quality on mobile devices greatly depends on the users’ capabilities. One proposed solution to address these issues is video composition. It allows to switch between multiple recorded video streams, selecting the best source at any given time, for composing a live video with a better overall quality for the viewers. Previous approaches have required an in-depth visual analysis of the video streams, which usually limited the scalability of these systems. In contrast, our work allows the stream selection to be realized solely on context information, based on video- and service-quality aspects from sensor and network measurements. The implemented monitoring service for a context-aware upload of video streams is evaluated in different network conditions, with diverse user behavior, including camera shaking and user mobility. We have evaluated the system’s performance based on two studies. First, in a user study, we show that a higher efficiency for the video upload as well as a better QoE for viewers can be achieved when using our proposed system. Second, by examining the overall delay for the switching between streams based on sensor readings, we show that a composition view change can efficiently be achieved in approximately four seconds.

In this chapter we propose a decision support system for privacy management of context-aware technologies, which requires the alignment of four dimensions: business, regulation, technology, and user behavior. We have developed a middleware model able to achieve compliance with privacy policies within a dynamic and context-aware risk management situation. We illustrate our model in more details by means of a small prototype that we developed, and we present the current outcomes of its implementation to derive some pointers for the direction of future investigation.

Due to the influence of context information on user behavior, context-aware recommendation system (CARS) has attracted extensive attention in recent years. The most advanced context-aware recommendation system maps the original multi-field features into a shared hidden space and then simply connects it to a deep neural network (DNN) or other specially designed networks. However, for different areas, the ability of modeling complex interactions in a sufficiently flexible and explicit way is limited by the simple unstructured combination of feature fields. Therefore, it is hard to get the accurate results of the user behavior prediction. In this paper, a graph structure is used to establish the interaction between context and users/items. Through modeling user behavior, we can explore user preferences in different context environments, so as to make personalized recommendations for users. In particular, we construct a context-user and context-item interactions graph separately. In the interactions graph, each node is composed of a user feature field, an item feature field, and a feature field of different contexts. Different feature fields can interact through edges. Therefore, the task of modeling feature interaction can be transformed into modeling the node interaction on the corresponding graph. To this end, an innovative model called context-aware graph neural network (CA-GNN) model is designed. Furthermore, in order to obtain more accurate and efficient recommendation results, first, we innovatively use the attention mechanism to improve the interpretability of CA-GNN; second, we innovatively use the degree of physical fatigue features which has never been used in traditional CARS as critical contextual feature information into our CA-GNN. We simulated the Food and Yelp datasets. The experimental results show that CA-GNN is better than other methods in terms of root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE).

Online streaming services have become the most popular way of listening to music. The majority of these services are endowed with recommendation mechanisms that help users to discover songs and artists that may interest them from the vast amount of music available. However, many are not reliable as they may not take into account contextual aspects or the ever-evolving user behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to develop systems that consider these aspects. In the field of music, time is one of the most important factors influencing user preferences and managing its effects, and is the motivation behind the work presented in this paper. Here, the temporal information regarding when songs are played is examined. The purpose is to model both the evolution of user preferences in the form of evolving implicit ratings and user listening behavior. In the collaborative filtering method proposed in this work, daily listening habits are captured in order to characterize users and provide them with more reliable recommendations. The results of the validation prove that this approach outperforms other methods in generating both context-aware and context-free recommendations.
