Extending Context Models for Privacy in Pervasive Computing Environments

Overview Privacy is widely recognised as a significant obstacle inhibiting the adoption of context-aware applications. In order to remove this obstacle, advances are required in many areas of context-awareness research. This paper addresses the incorporation of privacy support into context models. In particular, it presents extensions to the context modelling approach that address the challenges of assigning ownership to context information and enabling users to express privacy preferences for their own information.
