Abstract :
Advanced context-aware telecom services require evaluating rules encompassing local or remote, raw or abstract context situations. The meteoric rise of smartphones raises the question of potential deployment of terminal-based context-aware services versus a network-centric one. In this paper we compare these two approaches through the analysis of typical context-aware services.
