Scenarios for context-awareness

Describe relevant contexts and how a service might be adapted to them in the following scenarios.

• Navigation - You want to create an information service to assist people navigating. Describe the kinds of context that affect a person trying to get about, how they affect the planning and undertaking of a journey, how they might change during travel. Suggest different ways to adapt a service to consider these contexts so that the users can get efficiently and safely to their destination.
• Nature lover - You want to provide an information system to visitors of a nature reserve for birds. List the different types of context that might effect a bird-watcher in such an area and suggest how the service might be adapted to help them observing and identifying different species of birds
• Student - you want to provide an informaiton service to help students with their studies, for example finding books and finding a place to sit at one of the university libraries. List the different types of context that might be relevant to a student and how the contexts change during the day. Suggest ways a system could be adapted to consider these.
