How many times have you gone to the grocery store but left your shopping list on the refrigerator door? Wouldn't it be more efficient to have a reminder to buy groceries and the shopping list delivered to you when you were in the vicinity of the store? How many times have you suddenly thought of something you must do or have just had a great idea that you want to write down, or record, for future reference? Wouldn't it be useful to record that thought and be reminded of it when in the relevant place and time? Information delivery utopia would be to receive the exact amount of data we need (no more, no less), when and where we need it, and in a gratifying format, for example, in a pleasant voice or well-structured text. Although we are still far away from this goal, a partial solution to the information overload is to create systems which deliver timely information when the user is in the relevant context. This thesis describes comMotion, a context-aware communication system for a mobile or wearable computing platform. A behaviour-learning agent automatically learns the salient locations in the user's life. Once these places have been determined, location specific to-do lists, electronic Post-it notes or reminders, and subscription requested information can be delivered to the user at the right place and time. The user interacts with the system through a visual and/or speech interface.

<Abstract>How many times have you gone to the grocery store but left your shopping list on the refrigerator door? Wouldn't it be more efficient to have a reminder to buy groceries and the shopping list delivered to you when you were in the vicinity of the store? How many times have you suddenly thought of something you must do or have just had a great idea that you want to write down, or record, for future reference? Wouldn't it be useful to record that thought and be reminded of it when in the relevant place and time? Information delivery utopia would be to receive the exact amount of data we need (no more, no less), when and where we need it, and in a gratifying format, for example, in a pleasant voice or well-structured text. Although we are still far away from this goal, a partial solution to the information overload is to create systems which deliver timely information when the user is in the relevant context. This thesis describes comMotion, a context-aware communication system for a mobile or wearable computing platform. A behaviour-learning agent automatically learns the salient locations in the user's life. Once these places have been determined, location specific to-do lists, electronic Post-it notes or reminders, and subscription requested information can be delivered to the user at the right place and time. The user interacts with the system through a visual and/or speech interface.</Abstract>
