ON CONTEXT AWARE PREDICATE SEQUENCE QUERIES

Hagen Höpfner

2006

Abstract

Due to the limited input capabilities of small mobile information system clients like mobile phones, it is not a must to support a descriptive query language like SQL. Furthermore, information systems with mobile clients have to address characteristics resulting from clients mobility as well as from wireless communications. These additional functions can be supported by a reasonable, well-defined notation of queries. Moreover, such systems should be context aware. In this paper we present a query notation named “context aware predicate sequence queries” which respects these issues.
