Abstract

The paper addresses some of the challenges in developing context-aware systems. It begins by looking into some of the proposed context-aware systems and examines why they fail to have practical relevance. It then examines some of the successful features of contemporary ubiquitous systems and applications to drive a lesson that can be useful for developing context-aware systems.
