Document Summary
Chapter 2: context- in which we dig a little deeper. Contextual computing: is the use of software and hardware to automatically collect and a(cid:374)al(cid:455)ze data a(cid:271)out a de(cid:448)i(cid:272)e(cid:859)s surrou(cid:374)di(cid:374)g i(cid:374) order to prese(cid:374)t rele(cid:448)a(cid:374)t, a(cid:272)tio(cid:374)a(cid:271)le i(cid:374)for(cid:373)atio(cid:374) to the end user. The set of facts or circumstances that surround a situation or event. The salient parts of the definition refer to the frame of reference within which something is per(cid:272)ei(cid:448)ed, (cid:272)o(cid:374)su(cid:373)ed or other(cid:449)ise e(cid:454)perie(cid:374)(cid:272)ed. For example, is someone says it is cold, we need more context. Context makes information out of data and allows us to make decisions. The interpretation of message or communications is dependent on the situation in which it occurs and to which it refers. Trail (historical trail leading up to the context) Task (the target or trajectory of the context) Tools (toolkit present at the time of occurrence) might be the nervous system used to determine the context. Time is the most basic determinant of context.
