"Usability in Context-Aware Applications" Anind Dey, University of California, Berkeley, USA
Abstract
The adoption of context-aware applications has been slowed
by the challenge of producing usable applications. Usability
has multiple dimensions, but in this work, I look at the
issues of control, feedback, privacy and information
overload. In particular, I examine each and describe the
significant role that context modeling and retrieval has in
addressing these issues. In doing so, I highlight key research
questions that need to be dealt with to support usability and,
in the end, adoption, of context-aware applications.
