The document discusses mobile informal learning and future mobile applications. It addresses how mobility is changing contexts through fragmentation and convergence. It also discusses how mobile applications can support informal learning by providing context, triggers to help interpret experiences, and strategies to examine alternatives and lessons learned. Future applications aim to frame the environment for mobile contextualized learning by detecting and matching contexts to support reflection and informal learning embedded in practice.

High-Level Context Inference for Human Behavior IdenticationOresti Banos
This work presents the Mining Minds Context Ontology, an
ontology for the identification of human behavior. This ontology comprehensively models high-level context based on low-level information, including the user activities, locations, and emotions. The Mining Minds Context Ontology is the means to infer high-level context from the low-level information. High-level contexts can be inferred from unclassified contexts by reasoning on the Mining Minds Context Ontology. The Mining Minds Context Ontology is shown to be flexible enough to operate in real life scenarios in which emotion recognition systems may not always be available. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the activity and the location might not be enough to detect some of the high-level contexts, and that the emotion enables a more accurate high-level context identification. This work paves the path for the future implementation of the high-level context recognition system in the Mining Minds project.

The document discusses supporting learner mobility in SCORM compliant learning environments using ISN Mobler Cards. It describes how Mobler Cards allow formative self-assessment on mobile devices while connected to virtual learning environments. Mobler Cards use a hybrid HTML5 app to provide access to learning materials offline or online through a secure connection via OAuth. Content is stored on devices and analytics are done locally to support mobility.
Exploiting Context-awareness and Social Interaction to Provide Help in Large-...nasim.mahmud
The research presented here explores how to unlock the enormous power of
human processing that is still underutilized, in a social, congenial and convenient way.
This is still not well explored but is an emerging area of research.
In the frame of the thesis I propose several context–aware social computing prototype
systems that assist people to find context–sensitive suitable help and guidance
from trusted social peers. I also illustrate the help seeking scenario in different
ranges from large–scale city environments to people with dementia. Furthermore, I
demonstrate the help seeking scenario in a simulated large and dynamic social network
such as, a simulated vehicular network. I also propose approaches that can
assist users to select required contextual information and assist to find suitable help
providers.

A Framework for Context-aware applications for Smart Spaces. ruSmart 2011 St ...Natalia Díaz Rodríguez
This document presents a framework for developing context-aware applications in smart spaces using an ontology-based approach. It describes smart spaces as abstract spaces that encapsulate information from physical spaces and allow devices to connect and share information. The Smart-M3 platform uses a semantic information broker and knowledge processors to enable this. Context is modeled with ontologies and inferred using rules. The system architecture includes context providers, interpreters, reasoners and ontologies. PythonRules allows defining rules to model smart spaces behavior without knowledge of semantic technologies. Future work includes improving PythonRules and the information broker and integrating with OWL-S services.
[MADRINET'09] Designing a framework to handle context informationJosué Freelance
The document discusses the design of a framework for handling context information. It first reviews existing context-aware platforms and their approaches to context modeling, reasoning, and other features. It then outlines some general design principles for the framework, including layered architecture, service management, interoperability, and support for context retrieval, quality of context, scalability and user-centered design. Finally, it examines potential technologies and functionalities for the framework, comparing options for messaging, context modeling, and system architecture.
Extending Semantic Web Tools for Improving Smart Spaces Interoperability and ...Natalia Díaz Rodríguez
This document proposes a graphical user interface (GUI) model to visualize and interact with smart space information for non-technical users. The GUI would allow users to create simple IF-THEN rules without programming knowledge, using semantic graph-based data and ontologies. Each rule would be converted to a SPARQL query and published using a subscription architecture. The goal is to provide an accessible environment for developing smart space applications while abstracting away technical complexities and leveraging semantic web technologies. Future work includes expanding support for fuzzy reasoning and defining higher-level human behaviors.
Situation driven development: a methodology for the development of context-aw...damarcant
This document proposes a methodology called Situation-Driven Development for creating context-aware systems. It involves domain experts and programmers collaborating using a platform called Context Cloud. Context Cloud allows defining context information and situations through a web interface. It then generates outputs to adapt a system's behavior based on the identified situation. An evaluation found the methodology and platform made developing context-aware systems quicker and easier, and facilitated collaborative work between technical and domain experts.
This document discusses using multi-agent systems in a context-aware environment for global software development. It proposes an architecture called ContextP-GSD that uses an ontology called OntoDiSEN to capture context information. A case study demonstrates how ContextP-GSD can use time zone information to determine the appropriate communication method. The document also presents the DiSEN Agency framework for distributed knowledge management using agents and describes future work to improve integration with the DiSEN environment and evaluate semantic repositories.
The Personalization Challenge: Context and Culture Metadata for Mobile Learning
In this keynote, we addressed m-learning adaptation based on a standardized context description. The context description contains cultural, organization and individual factors as a base for adaptable and adaptive systems. This is used on the openscout project which is about adaptation of learning resources also in the international context.
This document discusses context-based mobile learning. It defines context as that which surrounds us and is constructed through interactions. Three projects are described: CAGE used location-based content on handhelds in a museum; MyArtSpace connected museum visits and classrooms via student-created multimedia on phones; PaSAT used location-based games on PDAs to support learning outdoors. Results showed these approaches engaged students, supported inquiry learning, and connected formal/informal settings, though more teacher preparation and classroom connection were needed. Creating temporary "islands" of stable context is important for mobile learning.
CARIM is a context-aware metamodel for analyzing quality of experience (QoE) in mobile environments. It describes multimodal interactions step-by-step including surrounding context, perceived quality ratings, and cognitive state. CARIM provides a unified structure to compare interaction records, allows dynamic analysis of live interactions, and links quality ratings to interactions to enhance QoE analysis. The document presents CARIM and discusses its benefits for mobile QoE analysis.

This document describes a context-aware content-based recommendation framework called contextual eVSM. The framework is an extension of an earlier content-based recommendation model called eVSM that used distributional semantics. Contextual eVSM incorporates contextual information to make more accurate recommendations by taking into account factors like task, company, and mood. It models both positive and negative user preferences using a quantum logic-inspired approach. The framework was presented at the EC-WEB 2013 conference in Prague.

Context-aware application development with FIWARE #CPBR8Fermin Galan
Context-aware application development with FIWARE, used in the #CPBR8 workshop. It includes basic and advanced Orion topics, along with usage examples.
This document discusses context-aware adaptive and personalized mobile learning systems. It begins with an introduction that outlines the motivation for such systems in providing tailored learning experiences on mobile devices. It then provides definitions for key terms like mobile learning, adaptivity, and personalization. The main issues in designing these systems are the learner's contextual information that can be used for adaptations, and the types of adaptations that are possible. The document outlines ASK's research progress in this area, including their context model and prototype tools. It concludes by noting further research issues.
The document summarizes the key concepts and methodology of Capability Driven Development (CDD) for designing context-aware enterprise applications. It discusses CDD's focus on an enterprise's capabilities - the ability and capacity to achieve business goals in different contexts. The document outlines CDD's life-cycle process and development environment, including modeling capabilities, contexts, and variability. It also provides examples of applying CDD at industrial partners, and discusses challenges and future work in fully realizing the CDD approach.
This document discusses the concept of mobile learning in context. It describes how computers and mobile devices are becoming ubiquitous and context-aware. Sensors in environments and on mobile devices can provide contextual information to enhance learning experiences. However, mobile phones are still often seen only as toys in classrooms rather than learning tools. The document advocates for leveraging context through ubiquitous computing to design new approaches to mobile and ambient learning.
Context-aware systems represent extremely complex and heterogeneous systems. The need for middleware to bind components together is well recognized and many attempts to build middleware for context-aware systems have been made.
We provide a general introduction about the evolution of the middlewares and then we proceed with an analysis of the requirements and the issues for context-aware middleware.
A Context-Aware Retrieval System for Mobile Applicationsmarcopavan83
We present a prototype recommendation system for mobile applications that exploits a rather general description of the user’s context. One of the main features of the proposed so- lution is the proactive and completely automated procedure of querying the apps marketplace, able to retrieve a set of apps and to rank them on the basis of the current situation of the user. We also present a first experimental evaluation that confirms the effectiveness of the general design and im- plementation choices and sheds some light on the peculiar features and critical issues of recommendation systems for mobile applications.
In-Time On-Place Learning — Creation, Annotation and Sharing of Location-Base...Teemu Leinonen
Presentation in the 10th International Conference on Mobile Learning 2014, 28 February – 2 March, Madrid, Spain. The aim of the research is to look at how mobile video recording devices could support learning related to physical practices or places and situations at work. The paper discusses particular kind of workplace learning, namely learning using short video clips that are related to physical environment and tasks preformed in situ. The paper presents challenges of supporting learning as part of work practices taking place in the workplace, because learning has different attributes during work than in formal educational contexts: e.g. it is informal, just in time and social. The theoretical framework of the design is the tradition of pragmatism. We start with the concepts of experience, change of practices / habits and reflection, claiming that living through experiences suggest changes for practices and these trigger reflective processing of the situations. We present an Android application ‘Ach So!’ for creating and annotating short videos as potential solution for informal learning for physical work practices. The paper ends in proposing future steps in the development of the application. The co-design process for the application is lean and iterative, where the design receives feedback from the project partners, skilled workers, apprentices and managers of SMEs targeted to be the main users of the application.
The impact of e-learning on organisations, individuals and the curriculumgrainne
The document summarizes the impact of e-learning on organizations, individuals, and curriculum. It discusses how e-learning has led to changes in tutor skills and roles, the rise of virtual learning environments, and both intended and unintended consequences. It also examines tools that have grown with e-learning and how contexts like policies, strategies, and skills have impacted the adoption and design of e-learning.
This document discusses context-aware recommender systems for mobile devices. It introduces recommender systems and how they are used to help users find relevant information. It describes how mobile recommender systems can take into account contextual information like location and weather to provide personalized recommendations. As a practical example, it outlines the South Tyrol Suggests app, which provides point of interest recommendations for South Tyrol adapted to the user's context. It also discusses the challenges of building context-aware recommender systems and evaluating their performance.
The document summarizes a session on context aware services from an IBBT Brokerage Event. The session chair was Piet Demeester and objectives included identifying research topics and interested parties. Topics discussed included the concept of context aware services, market potential, challenges, and requirements. Major challenges identified were accurate indoor positioning, different sensor types, communication between devices, and representing context information standardized. The session identified several interested parties and concluded that context detection infrastructure, context aware devices, service architectures, and addressing security, user requirements, and business models were important areas.
This document discusses mutualization of environmental data and knowledge through metadata and reference bases. It aims to facilitate information exchange between actors by developing common platforms. These platforms include a metadata service to catalog and share resources using standards like ISO 19115. They also provide reference bases like ontologies and thesauri to control vocabularies and spatial objects. This knowledge mutualization helps search and interpret data in its proper context. The goal is to optimize environmental monitoring, management and decision making by enabling easy access and understanding of diverse environmental information sources.

SGCI - The Science Gateways Community Institute: International Collaboration ...Sandra Gesing
Science gateways - also called virtual research environments or virtual labs - allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, instruments, and other resources specific to their disciplines. The US Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI), opened in August 2016, provides free resources, services, experts, and ideas for creating and sustaining science gateways. It offers five areas of services to the science gateway developer and user communities: the Incubator, Extended Developer Support, the Scientific Software Collaborative, Community Engagement and Exchange, and Workforce Development. While all these services are available to US-based communities, the Incubator, the Scientific Software Collaborative and the Community Engagement and Exchange serve also the international communities. SGCI aims at supporting beyond borders on international scale with diverse measures and to form and deepen collaborations with partner organizations and coalitions beneficial and/or related to the science gateways community. Research topics are independent of national borders and researchers spread worldwide can benefit from each other’s research results, software, data and from lessons learned — via online materials and publications or at international events. The gateway community has benefitted from this type of exchange for years and one mission of SGCI is to support the international community. This talk will present related work describing the benefits of international collaborations generally, and specifically as they relate to science gateways. It will go into detail regarding SGCI’s ongoing work on an international scale and SGCI's work planned in the near future to foster collaborations under consideration of challenges such as different timezones and long distances between collaborators.
This document presents a comparative framework for design recovery tools. It aims to help researchers and practitioners compare techniques and tools, identify interesting research areas, and replicate experiments. The framework consists of 8 concerns and 51 criteria to characterize tools. It was applied to classify 10 tools, with detailed analysis of 2 tools: SOUL and Ptidej. The framework seeks to improve through expanded criteria, a taxonomy of tools, and benchmarks to facilitate further research.
1) The document discusses current practices regarding model-based context-aware adaptation (CAA) in industry based on a survey of 33 IT practitioners.
2) While respondents recognized the benefits of CAA, they found that models and context-awareness are not fully incorporated into daily work due to complexity, effort required, and lack of easy-to-use tools.
3) For CAA to be more widely adopted, the survey found that stakeholders need complete tool and framework support to facilitate incorporating models and context into the development process.

This document summarizes Christian Timmerer's presentation on quality of experience (QoE) for inter-destination media synchronization (IDMS). It discusses how adaptive media playout can be used to establish synchronization between media streams at different locations. Metrics that correlate with QoE, such as audio spectral energy and video motion vectors, can be used to select content sections where the playout rate can be modified with low perceptual distortion. Subjective quality assessments are needed to understand how metrics relate to QoE. A utility model incorporating these factors could enable IDMS in media clients.

Assisting Students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities in Inclus...Vivian Motti
Smartwatches have a large potential to support everyday activities. However, their potential as assistive technologies in inclusive academic environments is unclear. To investigate how smartwatches can support students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) to perform activities that require emotional and behavioral skills and involve communication, collaboration and planning, we implemented WELI. WELI (Wearable Life) is a wearable application designed to assist young adults with IDDs attending a postsecondary education program. This paper reports on the user-centric design process adopted in the development of WELI, and describes how smartwatches can assist students with IDDs in special education. The results reported are drawn from 8 user studies with 58 participants in total. WELI features include behavioral intervention, mood regulation, reminders, checklists, surveys and rewards. Results indicate that several considerations must be taken into account when designing for students with IDD, and that overall the students are enthusiastic about adopting an innovative smartwatch application in class, as they reacted positively about the technology and features provided.

UX Design for Wrist-Worn Wearables – how contextual dynamics influence intera...Vivian Motti
The large range of applications for wearable devices provides numerous opportunities for these technologies in diverse domains. However, the dynamic changes in the context of use during the user interaction, summed with the heterogeneity of users’ profiles, challenges the design of effective interfaces and interactive solutions for wearable technologies. In addition to that, wearables often have limited resources: their computational power, processing capabilities, screen dimensions and modalities are often constrained. Finally, the novelty in this market is characterized by limited guidance to effectively aid developers and designers to ensure high usability levels and to promote a great user experience in the design of the wearable interaction. To provide a high quality user experience, the context of use where the user interaction takes place needs to be thoroughly investigated and understood, accommodating its dynamic changes, as well as the specific needs and requirements of diverse users’ profiles in the design of interfaces and interaction. In this talk, you will learn about how context impacts the design of wearables, especially concerning wrist-worn devices, such as fitness trackers and smartwatches. More specifically, you will gain knowledge about: (1) a set of contextual factors that impact the wrist-worn interaction, ranging from environment, to platform and user profile, and (2) how those factors must be considered in the design of the user interaction for wearables, benefiting multimodal interactive solutions as well as multidisciplinary application domains.

Toward a Visual Vocabulary for Privacy ConceptsVivian Motti
This document discusses the development of a visual vocabulary for privacy concepts. It notes that privacy is a multi-disciplinary concept without universal definitions. Existing privacy solutions like terms and conditions are often too technical, long and complex. The document then presents research analyzing users' mental models of privacy through imagery themes of who, how, why and where. It develops a taxonomy of privacy codes organized by action, object, organization, people and concepts. The most frequent codes related to real-world actions and physical objects. The document concludes that a user-centric approach matching familiar concepts to UI design could help create more usable privacy solutions.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
