Research from HP Labs China advances context aware computing

We’re all familiar with IT services that use contexts, like our location or shopping history, to help us find what we’re are searching for – from a movie to see tonight in our neighborhood, to books that others have enjoyed, to people we might want to ‘friend’ on social networks.
Such contexts are going to be increasingly important to us, believes Min Wang, director of HP Labs China. “We have information available to us in such a volume and in so many dimensions, that we’re facing a huge challenge in how we sort it out,” she says.

HP is helping launch the era of cyber-physical systems, says Ravigopal Vennelakanti, HP Enterprise Services Distinguished Technologist and researcher at HP Labs.
“We’re starting by revolutionizing how we do seismic surveying,” he says, “but the sensing solutions that we’re creating at HP will eventually impact a wide variety of industries that interface with physical systems.”
That’s the message Vennelakanti and colleague Rich Friedrich took to the HP Discover 2012 expo in Las Vegas where their demonstration of HP Lab’s new Sensing Solution was one of the big draws at the HP Labs Pavilion.
