In order to facilitate the development and proliferation of multimedia services in ubiquitous environment, a context-aware multimedia middleware is indispensable. This chapter discusses the middleware support issues for context-aware multimedia services. The enabling technologies for the middleware such as representation model, context management, and multimedia processing are described in detail. On top of our previous work, the design and implementation of a context-aware multimedia middleware, called CMM, is presented. The infrastructure integrates both functions of context middleware and multimedia middleware. This chapter also aims to give an overview of underlying technologies so that researchers in ubiquitous multimedia domain can understand the key design issues of such a middleware.

In most educational environments, the process of communication with students is performed on ad hoc basis, with lowstandardization and few interaction. However, a more dynamic communication is demanded by the young profile of most students. In this way, mobile devices are an efficient and flexible channel to reach this public. In this scenario, we present a context-aware platform to provide the distribution of educational content using a sensitive model context based on the users location. Thus, the platform can satisfy the specific demands informed by the user, and also respond to the current context, delivering personalized content according to the users location. Moreover, this is a multidisciplinary project, involving students in the role of users and also as collaborators for modeling, development and testing of the platform.

Context modeling is the keystone to enable the intelligent system to adapt its functionalities properly to different situations. As such, a representation mechanism that allows an adequate manipulation of this kind of information is required, and diverse approaches have been introduced; however, what takes more value and is being positioned as a standard is the ontology-based context modeling because it presents a common understanding vocabulary for a specific domain. Hence, it might be beneficial to have a generic ontology to model context in this area. However, according to diverse works, there is no proposal of a generic context model for context-aware learning. For addressing this problem, several existing context models are studied to identify the essentials of context modeling, whereby an ontology-based generic context model is presented. The proposed ontology is evaluated in two ways. Firstly, scenarios are used to justify the feasibility of the model; then a comparative study and evaluation metrics are applied to assess the proposal.

This chapter presents the context-aware aspects of ADAPTSUR, a personalization approach designed for e-learning environments. The main features of ADAPTSUR are described and illustrated, showing how to use it to model context and culture for personalization in e-learning environments. The authors describe two materializations of the proposed approach, an adaptive e-learning system and an intelligent tutor, which provide personalized assistance to students taking into account their profiles. Finally, the authors discuss the benefits of their proposal.
