Abstract :
This paper discusses the requirements for a context-aware mobile tour guide (MTG) and proposes a design for constructing it. With increasing wireless and network connectivity available in the world today, a MTG device is a powerful hand-held device for adaptive information gathering, query processing, and collaborative work among ad hoc groups of people. By mapping the requirements onto layered functional units and including the user as part of the system design the system complexity is reduced while enhancing the system usability
