Fixed Set

Permanent reachability via mobile communications technologies has become a ubiquitous phenomenon. The traditional boundaries between peoples’ different contexts in their lives become blurry and begin to dissolve, if they are not actively maintained. Such boundary management activities allow to individually determine which communication request are considered acceptable in a particular context. Existing research in this field has a used a fixed set of pre-specified contexts to examine boundary management activities and identify different boundary profiles. Based on results from context-aware computing and mental model research, we argue for an open-ended, individual set of contexts to be considered for boundary management. Consequently, we develop an open structure elaboration technique to allow for individual specification of contexts and the information necessary to create a boundary profile, as identified in related work. The method is validated in an exploratory study, which was designed to verify the hypothesis that boundary management should be based on individually specified contexts, and show the feasibility of the proposed method. The results indicatively confirm our assumptions and show that the method can be used to elicit the required information.

In The Wild

The goal of this in-the-wild study was to understand how different patient, provider, and environment contexts affected the use of a tablet-based checklist in a dynamic medical setting. Fifteen team leaders used the digital checklist in 187 actual trauma resuscitations. The measures of checklist interactions included the number of unchecked items and the number of notes written on the checklist. Of the 10 contexts we studied, team leaders’ arrival after the patient and patients with penetrating injuries were both associated with more unchecked items. We also found that the care of patients with external injuries contributed to more notes written on the checklist. Finally, our results showed that more experienced leaders took significantly more notes overall and more numerical notes than less experienced leaders. We conclude by discussing design implications and steps that can be achieved with context-aware computing towards adaptive checklists that meet the needs of dynamic use contexts.

Distributed Ontology

In this paper, we describe efficient ontology integration model for better context inference based on distributed ontology framework. Context aware computing with inference based on ontology is widely used in distributed surveillance environment. In such a distributed surveillance environment, surveillance devices such as smart cameras may carry heterogeneous video data with different transmission ranges, latency, and formats. However even smart devices, they generally have small memory and power which can manage only part of ontology data. In our efficient ontology integration model, each of agents built in such devices get services not only from a region server, but also peer servers. For such a collaborative network, an effective cache framework that can handle heterogeneous devices is required for the efficient ontology integration. In this paper, we propose a efficient ontology integration model which is adaptive to the actual device demands and that of its neighbors. Our scheme shows the efficiency of model resulted in better context inference.

The Impact

With the growth of ubiquitous computing, context-aware computing-based applications are increasingly emerging, and these applications demonstrate the impact that context has on the adaptation process. From the context, it will be possible to adapt the application according to the requirements and needs of its users. Therefore, the quality of the context information must be guaranteed so that the application does not have an incorrect or unexpected adaptation process. But like any given data, there is the possibility of inaccuracy and/or uncertainty and so Quality of Context (QoC) plays a key role in ensuring the quality of context information and optimizing the adaptation process. To guarantee the Quality of Context it is necessary to study a quality model to be created, which will have the important function of evaluating the context information. Thus, it is necessary to ensure that the parameters and quality indicators to be used and evaluated are the most appropriate for a given type of application. This paper aims to study a context quality model for the UbiPri middleware, defining its quality indicators to ensure its proper functioning in the process of adaptation in granting access to ubiquitous environments.
