Abstract
A common focus shared by researchers in mobile,
ubiquitous and wearable computing is the attempt to
break away from the traditional desktop computing
paradigm. Computational services need to become as
mobile as their users and be extended to take advantage
of the constantly changing context in which they are
accessed. This paper will report on work done in the
Future Computing Environments Group at Georgia Tech.
We describe solutions we have generated to provide a
flexible context-aware infrastructure and several
applications that take advantage of context-awareness to
allow freedom from traditional desktop computing.
Keywords: Context-aware computing, ubiquitous
computing, tourism, voice-only interaction.
