A Platform for Rapid and Flexible Development of Context-Aware Web Services

上下文感知是当今计算机领域最令人兴奋的趋势之一，它有可能使我们的日常生活更高效、更方便、更愉快。拟议中的项目将为开发上下文感知网络服务提供一个综合平台，这将促进许多创新应用程序的实施，并为澳大利亚社会和国民经济做出重要贡献。其中一个应用程序是智能老年人援助服务，它将提高老年人的生活质量，同时帮助他们保持独立的生活方式。这个项目还将把澳大利亚置于Web服务发展的前沿。

Context awareness is one of the most exciting trends in computing today, and it holds the potential to make our daily life more productive, convenient and enjoyable. The proposed project will produce a comprehensive platform for developing context-aware Web services, which will facilitate ready implementation of many innovative applications and make important contributions to Australian society and the national economy. One such application is an intelligent seniors assistance service that will improve quality of life for senior citizens while helping them maintain an independent lifestyle. This project will also place Australia at the forefront of Web service development.
