Title:
The Design and Use of a Generic Context Server
Authors:

Abstract:
Although context awareness is a key component for perceptual user
interfaces, we lack generic infrastructure for developing context aware
applications. We propose a generic infrastructure based on context servers
that store, share and archive contextual data. We describe a few
applications we have built that take advantage of context sharing and
context history. We then turn to the overall design of our context server
and analyze in detail its services with a worked example.
