An empirical validation of a unified model of electronic government adoption (UMEGA)

In electronic government (hereafter e-government), a large variety of technology adoption models are employed, which make researchers and policymakers puzzled about which one to use. In this research, nine well-known theoretical models of information technology adoption are evaluated and 29 different constructs are identified. A unified model...

Designing context-aware systems: A method for understanding and analysing context in practice

Context-aware systems are systems that have the ability to sense and adapt to the environment. To operate in large-scale multi-stakeholder environments, systems often require context awareness. The context elements that systems in such environments should take into account are becoming ever more complex and go beyond elements like geographic...

What Belongs to Context?: A Definition, a Criterion and a Method for Deciding on What Context-Aware Systems Should Sense and Adapt to

According to the definitions found in the literature, whether something belongs to context, has to do with whether it is relevant. However, what it means to...
