Growth of knowledge, unparalleled in the history of the human race, results in the rapid development of technology. The solutions that until quite recently remained in the domain of science-fiction now become a part of our everyday life. Information systems and their technologies enter all the spheres of human's existence. Their influence is multiplied by network connections and by multimedia presentations and communications. Our intention was to offer to the readers of this monograph a very broad review of the recent scientific problems in that area. Searching for their solutions had became...

'Context' is defined as 'any information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity'. Nowadays, the increasing availability of communication networks, the miniaturization and progressive reduction in the cost of sensors and the penetration of advanced mobile personal devices make possible to collect and process data from multiple sources and combine them in order to automatically infer knowledge about the user's situation. Thus, the CONTEXTS Workshop aims at gathering advances on key elements that enable the design and deployment of personalized ubiquitous context-aware...
