This document discusses the design and deployment of context-aware mobile services. It presents a generic logical view of a context-aware system including data acquisition, context inference, quality of context evaluation, decision making, and service offering. It then describes the architecture of a prototyped context-aware system including context acquisition and storage, reasoning and decision processes, and web-based mobile applications. Examples of prototyped context-aware services are provided like location-based messaging and a contextual agenda. User experience testing showed viability of the concept though improvements were needed in positioning accuracy and system stability.

This document discusses various tips for evaluating information sources, including checking for accuracy, authority on the topic, comprehensive coverage of the issue, currency of the information, ease of presentation or reading level, and objectivity of the source. It emphasizes comparing information across multiple sources and checking sources for potential bias.

Researchers have been interested recently in publishing and linking Humanities datasets following Linked Data principles. This has given rise to some issues that complicate the semantic modelling, comparison, combination and longitudinal analysis of these datasets. In this research proposal we discuss three of these issues: representation round- tripping, concept drift, and contextual knowledge. We advocate an inte- grated approach to solve them, and present some preliminary results.

The article discusses how attitudes towards Latin have changed over time. While Latin was once widely studied and seen as essential for an educated person, it is now rarely taught and viewed more as an niche interest. However, some argue that studying Latin can still benefit students by improving other skills like logic and vocabulary.
The document describes a formula to calculate the volume (v) of a three-dimensional shape made up of two simple shapes (S1 and S2) added together. The volume is calculated by taking the height (h) cubed and multiplying it by the sum of the individual areas of S1 and S2 plus their combined area, with the result multiplied by four. The document also mentions calculating the perimeter (P) of a shape by adding its sides (a, b, c).
