Abstract
Information services that are accessed by mobile computers need to compensate the limited potential for direct interaction by some mechanism which analyzes the intentions of the user. Location-aware information services, for instance, take the decision about what is relevant to the user on ground of information about the user’s spatial location. We show that if the regions of the geographic space in which the user moves are structured hierarchically by partonomies a context problem arises. To resolve the problem, not only the user’s location but also his motion must be taken into account. We propose a location model that supports inferring intentional behavior in spatial partonomies from motion patterns and describe the architecture of the corresponding modeling framework.
