Abstract

Provisioning goal specific information to the teamenhances efficiency of the team.Context awareness isvery important to provide such relevant information. Wepropose a context aware information retrieval system thatretrieves, and presents, information of high utility to auser - taking into account user's implicit need forinformation, capabilities of the user's access device, andother resource constraints of the user. The informationretrieved assists users in achieving the collaborationgoals. The proposed context-aware information retrievalsystem analyzes user's history to derive an enhanced"context" that indicates why user needs the informationand what format of information is most useful for theuser. The system uses this context to determine theinformation most relevant to the immediate goal of theuser.
