SFB 627:  Spatial World Models for Mobile Context-Aware Applications

Subject Area Computer Science, Systems and Electrical Engineering
Social and Behavioural Sciences
Term from 2003 to 2011
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 5485702
 
Context-aware applications adapt their behaviour based on context information. Such context information is obtained from sensor systems that collect the information from the application-specific part of the physical world. The application areas of context-aware systems range from navigation systems to situated information spaces and ubiquitous computing applications. Information about the physical world is stored in spatial world models which hence link the physical world and the digital world.
The research focus of the Collaborative Research Centre is the investigation of large scale spatial world models which serve as a foundation for a wide spectrum of current and future context-aware applications. Further research is related to the exploitation of context information for communication purposes as well as security and privacy issues arising from the existence of spatial world models. Methods for model presentation are looked into as well as the integration of sensor data and consistency concepts. Furthermore, various context-aware applications are being developed. On the one hand this research will contribute to the respective application domain, and on the other hand it will serve as a basis for the requirement analysis and evaluation of the developed concepts. Besides these technical research issues also social aspects play an important role, in particular the relevance and acceptability of spatial world models for society.
