Shrnutí:Context-aware applications adapt their functionalities based on users contexts. Complementarily, a context history has information about previous contexts visited by a user. Context history enables applications to explore users past behavior. Researchers have studied different ways to analyze these data. This article addresses a specific type of data analysis in contexts histories, which is the discovery and monitoring of sequential patterns. The article proposes a model, called CHSPAM, that allows the discovery of sequential patterns in contexts histories databases and keeps track of these patterns to monitor their evolution over time. There are two main contributions of this work. The first one is the use of a generic representation for stored context information on pattern recognition field, which enables the model to be used for different research domains. The second contribution is the fact that CHSPAM monitors discovered pattern evolution over time. We have build a functional prototype that allowed us to conduct experiments in two different applications. The first experiment used the model to perform pattern analysis and evaluate the prediction based on monitored sequential patterns. Prediction accuracy increased by up to 17% when compared to the use of common sequential patterns. On the second experiment, CHSPAM was used as a component of a learning object recommendation application. The application was able to recommend learning objects related to students interests based on monitored sequential patterns extracted from users session history. Usefulness for recommendations reached 84%.
