"The article illustrated how the challenges of large-scale ubiquitous computing can be tackled with a structured, flexible approach to "Context." The key lies in providing an ontological foundation, an architectural foundation, and an approach to adaptation--all of which scale alongside the richness of the environment. Since the early 1960s, the notion of Context has been modeled and exploited in many areas of informatics. Nonetheless, it is commonly agreed that context is about evolving, structured, and shared information spaces, and that such spaces are designed to serve a particular purpose. In ubiquitous computing, the purpose is to amplify human activities with new services that can adapt to the circumstances in which they are used. The scientific community has debated Context is not simply the state of a predefined environment with a fixed set of interaction resources. It's part of a process of interacting with an ever-changing environment composed of reconfigurable, migratory, distributed, and multiscale resources."
