“…Researchers have given various definitions of context. For the purpose of this survey we adopt definition given by Oyomno et al [108], which states that context defines any enriching information about an entity's prevailing situation, including, but not limited to its interactions, attributes and changes to them. This means that context aware applications have the ability to use mobile sensors to infer personal information about users such as their environment, activities and even more sensitive attributes like state of mind and adaptability according to user context.…”

The number of smartphones, tablets, sensors, and connected wearable devices are rapidly increasing. Today, in many parts of the globe, the penetration of mobile computers has overtaken the number of traditional personal computers. This trend and the always-on nature of these devices have resulted in increasing concerns over the intrusive nature of these devices and the privacy risks that they impose on users or those associated with them. In this paper, we survey the current state of the art on mobile computing research, focusing on privacy risks and data leakage effects. We then discuss a number of methods, recommendations, and ongoing research in limiting the privacy leakages and associated risks by mobile computing.

“…The same concerns apply also to user-related information that has been interpreted to a higher level of abstraction (e.g. mapping of the GPS coordinates to indications such as ''on train'' ''at home'' [54]). In this case a privacy breach could be more severe, as compared to a breach in uninterpreted data, since interpreted data convey more information regarding the user.…”

Studying consumer behaviour and usage of environmental determinants in the mobile services domain contributes to the identification of context information which is critical for the effective operation of mobile commerce applications. Exploiting this information towards providing enhanced and innovative mobile services offers a competitive advantage within the highly demanding domain of m-commerce applications. However, in order to effectively exploit such context information, there is a need to design the necessary methods, software tools and information systems that will be employed for collecting, processing and disseminating this information. In this paper we develop a theoretical framework which defines the context information necessary for m-commerce applications, taking into account relevant marketing dimensions as well as privacy protection perspectives. Then, this framework is operationalized through the design of an appropriate software architecture which enables the standardization and management of context information.
