posted on 2001-01-01, 00:00 authored by Jason I. Hong, James A LandayThe Context Toolkit (Dey, Salber, and Abowd 2001 [this special issue]) is only one
of many possible architectures for supporting context-aware applications. In this essay,
we look at the trade-offs involved with a service infrastructure approach to context-aware
computing. We describe the advantages that a service infrastructure for contextawareness
has over other approaches, outline some of the core technical challenges that
must be addressed before such an infrastructure can be built, and point out promising
research directions for overcoming these challenges.
