Abstract
Context has been extensively studied in computing literature, and there are several definitions of the term context. However, prior research on context-aware computing mostly captures technical aspects related to how such systems capture and store contextual information. This work-in-progress research attempts to capture the key conceptual dimensions of the term context as defined in computing literature, summarizing them in the form of an emergent taxonomy. By identifying pertinent dimensions of contextual information, a taxonomy can help inform the design of context-aware applications and foster interoperability among them.
