Abstract

In dynamic heterogeneous environments, such as PervasiveComputing, context-aware adaptation is a key conceptto meet the varying requirements of different clients.To enable such functionality, context information must begathered and eventually presented to the applicationperforming the adaptation. Therefore, a common representationformat for the context information is required.This paper introduces a novel representation languagefor context information: Comprehensive Structured ContextProfiles (CSCP). CSCP is based on the ResourceDescription Framework (RDF) and is designed to becomprehensive and thoroughly structured to describe theentire context of mobile sessions. Besides the design ofCSCP, the paper describes our experiences with CSCP ina running system, a Mobility Portal for context-awareadaptive access to email and Web information services.
