Principles of Smart Home Control (2006, background): “In order for smart homes to achieve their promise of significantly improving the lives of families through socially appropriate and timely assistance, they will need to sense, anticipate and respond to activities in the home.”
Recommender system application developments: A survey (2015, background): “One of the most cited definitions of context is the definition of Dey et al. [62] that defines context as " any information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity.”
