Aspects of Pervasive Information Management: an Account of the Green Move System

The Green Move project aims at realizing a zeroemission- vehicle (ZEV) sharing service that also includes pervasive information distribution. In this paper we discuss the use of context-aware techniques applied to data gathering, shared services, and information distribution; we also discuss how a context-aware approach applied to these tasks leads to the reduction of (noisy) information delivered to the users and to the personalized distribution of information. Privacy of data is also a main concern in the realization of the project, and a privacy-safe approach to information distribution and advertising is adopted. The project, grounded in many results on the use of context-awareness already published by the same authors, aims at building a real-life system based on them. Eventually, we briefly describe the rapid prototype produced and the approach employed so far for the realization of the full system.
