Abstract :
Mobile devices offer an unprecedented amount of context about their users. Management of this context is like trying to find the signal in the noise. Those applications that can find the signal open themselves up to new business opportunities. These business opportunities come about as a result of emergent behavior and are better at satisfying user utility. Applications need to become smart applications and as software engineers we can make this happen by looking at the lessons learned from self-adaptive systems. Data structures, models, and an unfettered resolve to simplifying the user experience will help us get there.
