AmirtharajanRengarajan 4201474Context-awareness is an essential feature for establishing and sustaining a variety of specific as well as generic smarter environments. However, the acts of gleaning context information from different and distributed sources and interpreting it for real-time and actionable insights are not easy tasks. Having understood this requirement, we have conceptualized a new-generation context-awareness framework in order to simplify and streamlining context-awareness, which is the distinct need for next-generation smarter spaces. In this study, we have laid down all the right and relevant details of the approach and the framework solution through a host of renowned use cases. Further on, we have vividly illustrated the performance evaluations for the authenticity and strategic success of our approach and the solution incorporated.]]>Abowd, G.D., A.K. Dey, P.J. Brown, N.
