Managing and Delivering Context-Dependent User Preferences in Ubiquitous Computing Environments

We present a user profile management component for ubiquitous computing environments that provides management, inquiry and delivery of context-dependent user preferences. In particular, our approach takes into account that users act differently depending on their current context, and hence, that a user can be described by different submodels that represent the user’s preferences within different contexts. Furthermore, our approach takes into account that different applications usually adhere to different semantics.
