Tools

  • KnowMe: Uncertain and incomplete knowledge modelling for mediation in mobile context-aware systems.
  • Context Simulator: a Java program that allows for simulating events from the AWARE framework database. In case you want to make some tests on a real data, but you do not want to make real-life experiments this may be useful. You may increase, or decrease the simulation speed, write your own events and handlers, and so on.
  • Context Viewer: a simple visualiser of data that is gathered by the AWARE framework. It allows to visualise Location, application foreground, user activity and others. In the future we plan to add more tools for processing and analysing data (maybe binding it with WEKA machine learning tool) as well as some more visualisation of data.
  • HeaRTDroid: a rule-based inference engine dedicated for android devices.
  • Contextopheles: deliver information about Europe’s cultural heritage to the user, by gathering and integrating context information from the users device. The integrated context is automatically transformed in a search query for the Europeana search API. The user is notified about the results and can access the retrieved documents. This project has been developed within the EU-FP7 project EEXCESS.
