+\begin_layout Abstract
77
+In recent years location-based services have seen a dramatic increase in
78
+ adoption, and all modern smartphone platforms have integrated services
79
+ to facilitate the creation location-aware applications.
80
+ Such applications enhance the experience of users, using location to modify
81
+ content or alter the behaviour of the application to better suit the circumstan
82
+ces.

86
+The product of this project is a 
87
+\emph on
88
+context
89
+\emph default
90
+-aware API for the Android platform.
91
+ This allows applications to augment the already available location data
92
+ with extra 
93
+\emph on
94
+context
95
+\emph default
96
+ about the user's situation - primarily their current activity.
97
+ It also develops an algorithm for recognising 
98
+\emph on
99
+places
100
+\emph default
101
+ which are relevant to the user, and monitoring which activities are performed
102
+ in 
103
+\emph on
104
+journeys
105
+\emph default
106
+ between those places, thus enabling predictions of the user's likely destinatio
107
+n based on their activity.

+\begin_layout Abstract
111
+Research into other methods of annotating context was conducted, and it
112
+ was found that most potential sources of context information either produced
113
+ little or no information, or were too battery-draining to perform in a
114
+ real world environment with current technology.
115
+ Much effort was placed into optimising the API to have as small effect
116
+ on battery life as possible.

+\begin_layout Abstract
120
+A context-aware API was successfully produced, along with a collection of
121
+ applications which use the API in order to demonstrate its features or
122
+ provide example use cases.
