Abstract

Expansion of mobile technologies provides new possibilities for people to exploit contextual information in order to improve their daily practices. However, they have not gained the traction that they might have, probably because the user interface designs in these systems are not very well considered. My research aim is to conceive a new human-centred context-aware approach in order to cover this gap and improve the usability of context-aware applications. As a case study in a challenging and cutting edge context-aware system, an agile ridesharing system is going to be developed and evaluated from the human perspective. The context-aware components are in the process of being implemented for the system and some interviews are being conducted to identify peoples, expectations from a ridesharing system.
