Context-Aware Networking and Communications
Context-aware communication and computing have attracted increasing
attention since it allows automatic adaptation of devices, systems, and
applications to the changing user's context. The context is the
information characterizing the situation of an entity and providing
information about the present status of people, places, things and
devices in the environment. An entity is a person, device, place, or
object relevant to the interaction between a user and an application,
such as location, time, activities, and services. Context awareness
allows for customization or creation of the application to match the
preferences of the individual user, based on current context such as
enterprise environment or home network.
A first area of interest concerns the Person Context Awareness. The
recent emergence of the so-called social networks, the widespread
presence of smartphones equipped by heterogeneous sensors, such as GPS
receivers, accelerometers, compasses, microphones and cameras, and the
availability of geo-referenced information enable analysis of new
context definitions that may concern individual, social, and urban
scenarios. Indeed, recently, the available information may include
mobility patterns of people and also physical activities (movements),
physical status, and emotional conditions. This information is often
acquired and shared, in real time, by users. Allowing the reliable
extraction and sharing of that information is a fundamental research
issue with important applications. It could improve the experience of
individual, communities, organizations, and societies by adapting
context to the environment (home, hospitals, campuses, offices, etc.).
Another area in this field deals with the Object Context
Awareness.Context awareness may be implemented using quite different
aspects under different environments, conditions, and layers, such as
layered context-aware architecture for middleware, context awareness for
connecting entities of network components, and infrastructure (Internet
protocol, handoff management, sensing, network requirements, network
controls and network implementation).
This feature topic's scope will include both computing and
communications networks, especially mobile computing networks. This
topic will focus on more recent relevant topics, such as green context
awareness (which would be supported by Technical Subcommittee on Green
Communications and Computing [TSCGCC] of the IEEE Communications
Society), context-aware security, new context-aware network
architecture, and context-awareness for connecting entities (which would
be supported by Technical Committee on Satellite and Space
Communications [SSC] of the IEEE Communications Society), and
context-aware social networks.
The papers in this feature topic will focus on state-of-the-art research
and emerging industry technologies in Context-Aware Networking and
Communications.We solicit papers covering various topics of interest
that include, but are not limited to, the following:
?Context-aware protocols, algorithms, architecture
?Context-aware green communications and computing networking
?Context-aware modeling and analysis methods
