Frequently Asked Questions

What is context-aware computing?

Systems that use information about their situation, such as location, time, activity, device state and user preferences, to adapt their behaviour without being told.

How does it relate to ubiquitous computing?

Ubiquitous or pervasive computing embeds computing in everyday environments. Context awareness is what lets those embedded systems respond sensibly to where and when they are used.

What technologies does it use?

Sensors, location services, wireless networks, machine learning to infer activity, and edge or mobile platforms to process context locally.

What are the privacy concerns?

Context data such as location and habits is sensitive, so systems should collect only what is needed, process it on the device where possible, and be clear with users.
