Generating, communicating, accessing and analyzing data in a context-aware perspective

The Internet of Things and the Web of Things have focused on context awareness as a central issue in defining complex autonomic systems that rely on various layers, including devices, communications and applications. The spread usage of mobile devices that allow users to generate and to access distributed data makes it extremely important to organize the forwarding and gathering of such data in a user centered way, which may support a targeted process of data analytics. Data science should strongly take into account the individual and her/his needs to look at data from a personal perspective. In this contribution an integrated view of context awareness is presented, with the several technological and scientific issues that it raises.
