Context aware computing and its utilization in event-based systems

Recently, the notion of context aware computing has attracted attention in various domains, and was mentioned as emerging direction in Gartner's 2009 hype cycle for enterprise architecture. The paper provides a brief report of a tutorial given in DEBS 2010 that discusses the notion of context, generally in computing, in event processing modeling, giving examples from the current state-of-the-practice that supports some types of context, but still do not view it as a first class citizen in the model.
