Abstract
The area of information technology continues to experience considerable progress and innovation in recent years. Computers have evolved from large and very expensive devices, to mainstream products we take for granted in our everyday lives. Increasingly, cloud-based services have come to the fore. Additionally, many people own multiple computing devices, from normal desktop computers to small mobile devices. We find mobile computing devices of particularly interest and this will be the focus of our study. In this chapter, we investigate a context-aware and cloud-based adaptation of mobile devices and user’s experience. Our research displays new and novel contribution to the area of context-awareness in the cloud setup. We propose and demonstrated principles in implemented applications, whereby context-aware information is harvested from several dimensions to build a rich foundation for context-aware computation. Furthermore, we have exploited and combined this with the area of cloud computing technology to create a new user experience and a new way to invoke control over user’s mobile phone. Through a developed application suite with the following evaluation, we have shown the feasibility of such an approach. Moreover, we believe our research, incorporating remote, and automatically configuration of Android phone advances the research area of context-aware information.
