The concept emerged from
ubiquitous computing research at
Xerox PARC and elsewhere in the early 1990s. The term 'context-aware' was first used by Schilit and Theimer in their 1994 paper
Disseminating Active Map Information to Mobile Hosts where they describe a model of computing
in which users interact with many different mobile and stationary computers and classify a context-aware systems as one that can
adapt according to its location of use, the collection of nearby people and objects, as well as the changes to those objects over time over the course of the day. == See also ==
