Abstract :
The typical scenario of a user seeking information on the Web requires significant effort to get the desired information. In a world where information is essential, it can be crucial for users to get the desired information quickly even when they are away from their desktop computers. The Context-Aware Browser for mobile devices senses the surrounding environment, infers the user´s current context, and proactively searches for and activates relevant Web documents and applications.
