Abstract

In this paper we present the Social Context-Aware Browser, a general purpose solution to Web content perusal by means of mobile devices. This is not just a new kind of application, but it is a novel approach for the information access based on the users' context. With the aim of overtaking the limits in current approaches to context-awareness, our solution exploits the collaborative efforts of the whole community of users to control and manage contextual knowledge, related both to situations and resources. This paper presents a general survey of our solution, describing the idea and some scenarios, presenting the model to information access, open problems and future challenges.
