Issues for Context Services for Pervasive Computing

Context-aware computing has the potential to greatly alleviate the human attention bottleneck. To facilitate the development of context-aware applications, we envision a context service that provides standardized support for applications. It supports both synchronous queries and asynchronous event notifications. It also addresses privacy concerns by providing controls that allow people to limit the release of their context information.
