MeCoCo: A Context-Aware System for Mediated Communications
Sébastien George1, Aina Lekira1
(07/2009)

In this paper, the potential of contextual communications with mobile technologies is explored. Context-aware applications allow relevant information and services to be delivered to users at a given time. One of the two objectives of our work is to propose a generic user's context model for mediated communications. This model is based on six dimensions: User's profile, Activity, Device, Environment, Location and Time. In addition, to show the utility and to validate the proposed approach, we designed a prototype named MeCoCo (Mediated Contextual Communications) with a specific interface promoting the search of interesting contacts and messages. The MeCoCo prototype illustrates the power of contextual information.
