Survey on Context Aware Computing and IoT Environment

Abstract

Context awareness enables the system to collect the information about the environment at any time and act according to it. It makes use of hardware as well as software to collect and analyse the data automatically. The mobile users particularly the smart phone users are mostly focused by context due to its pliability and is often used as a part of ubiquitous and wearable computing. The Internet and upcoming technologies combines to transform every objects into smart objects. Where this can be applied to user’s activities on the device or to the physical environment in which the device is being use.  Here we survey the context awareness from an IoT perspective to help users by automating the task of selecting the sensors according to the problems/tasks at hand.
