Context-aware computing is an area of research that focuses on developing systems and applications that can dynamically adapt their behavior based on the context in which they are being used. This context includes factors such as user location, time of day, environment, and user preferences. By taking these factors into account, context-aware systems can provide personalized and more relevant information and services to users. This research area draws on fields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and human-computer interaction to create intelligent systems that can anticipate and respond to user needs in real-time.
