Amigo Context Management Service with Applications in Ambient Communication Scenarios

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 11))

Abstract

The Amigo Context Management Service (CMS) provides an open infrastructure for the exchange of contextual information between context sources and context clients. Whereas context sources supply context information, retrieved from sensors or services within the networked home environment, context clients utilize those information to become context-aware.

An ambient communication scenario realizing follow-me elements is used to showcase how applications benefit from the combination of acoustics-based context sources and positioning sensors.
