It’s pretty much what you’re thinking about right…

Gartner defines context-aware computing as the concept of leveraging information about the end user to improve the quality of the interaction. Emerging context-enriched services will use location, presence, social attributes, and other environmental information to anticipate an end user’s immediate needs, offering more-sophisticated, situation-aware and usable functions.

Why is this interesting? Well, I think that context-aware computing will have to be decision-centric. Think about it – if you are not able to make decisions with this context, what good will it be? You need to have a decision in your system or process into which you can feed this context.

A decision, for instance, about what coupon or offer to make that uses the consumers current location and environmental factors to target them more effectively.
