In context of business

ABSTRACT

Context-awareness is usually focused on understanding the state of the user derived from system-external sensor information like location, noise, surrounding devices, etc. This information is used to understand user needs or temporal constraints which the systems has to adapt to.In business scenarios, context is to a large extent also represented within the system and adds to the understanding of the current situation. With the emergence of smart devices and embedded systems, context will not be just the sum of sensors but will evolve out of the interaction of various smart devices.
