Developing design guidelines for context-aware mobile applications

Context-aware computing sets new challenges for interaction design. This paper introduces the special characteristics of context-aware mobile devices that should be taken into account in interaction and user interface design, and proposes design guidelines for context-aware mobile applications. The proposed guidelines are evaluated with two design exercises.
