* How often should the data on context be collected and reasoned upon?
* What is the nature of the services that a surrounding environment needs to
provide to realize context awareness?
1.4 Summary
This introductory chapter has covered the basic aspects of mobile and pervasive
computing in construction, introducing the factors that should be considered
in human-computer interaction, the factors in construction site operations and
activities that should be considered and also the fundamentals and principles of
mobile and pervasive computing. It has prepared audiences to better under-
stand the paradigms, theories, metaphors in the other technical chapters in
this topic.
