Supporting Appropriate Communication Media Selection Through Context-Awareness

Communicating with someone via the right communication media seems to be difficult nowadays as people use various mode of communication media and senders do not have any knowledge about receivers’ current communication media, especially in ubiquitous environment. Thus, we propose the method how the most appropriate media to reach the receiver can be selected based on the effective measures. In the paper, a preliminary evaluation of the proposed method is also described to show its effectiveness. We are developing a research prototype system to support the sender with the information of the best reachable media to the receiver.
