Towards a dynamic process model of context

The complex usage of mobile devices coupled with their limited resources in terms of display and processing suggests that being able to understand the context of the user would be beneficial. In this paper we present a model that describes context as a dynamic process with historic dependencies. This model allows us to i) build a useful, understandable context-aware system in collaboration with content creators and stakeholders; ii) describe this set-up with other system developers; iii) represent the current context state to users and allow them make changes where necessary.
