Chemistry for Context Awareness (C2A)

Abstract

Awareness is a necessary aspect of interaction of present day devices and communications in pervasive environments. Awareness is dependant on the information of surroundings that is seen as 'Context'. The sources of context have grown exponentially in the recent past and with growing device and sensing capabilities will continue to grow. Pervasive context awareness shares a lot of analogies with chemistry and chemical reactions. In this paper we propose a chemical reaction model based on the assumption of applying chemistry related concepts to context and awareness.
