Abstract

Many electronic services are not used in isolation, but in the context of a specific user. This user, customer or patient perspective is different from the perspective of service providers since customer processes usually involve multiple service providers. Information on the context helps to understand these user needs and to improve the coordination among services. This research in progress paper examines existing contributions as a basis towards an understanding of the concept and modeling of “context” from a context provider’s perspective and proposes a preliminary model, which also serves to analyze four use cases. The paper summarizes challenges observed in these cases and presents an agenda for further research.
