Abstract

In this paper we present an approach for designing and deploying context-aware services in the context of physical hypermedia applications, those applications in which mobile users explore real and digital objects using the hypermedia paradigm We show how to adapt the objects' response to the user's navigation context by changing the role these objects play in the user's travel We first motivate our research with a simple example and survey some related work; next we introduce the concept of travel object and show that physical objects might assume the role of different type of travel objects We then present an architectural approach for context-aware services and describe its evolution into a software substrate for physical hypermedia services We conclude by indicating some further work we are pursuing.
