Abstract

Research into context-aware computing risks losing sight of the user. This paper discusses how different types of information about a user, ranging from information about the current context to information about the user’s long-term properties, can simultaneously be relevant to a given adaptation decision. Pointers are given to two areas of research that can help with the integration of a broader range of information into context-aware systems: research on user-adaptive systems and on decision-theoretic methods.
