Context Builder is a system designed to allow context aware systems to be built easily and rapidly without requiring any user programming. Through a simple graphical interface, users can design any kind of system which receives input from some sensor or program and classifies that input into states, and possibly also produces some form of output or effect on the environment. Context Builder was designed to encapsulate design principles and methodologies the Context Aware Computing group has found to be effective and applicable to many different scenarios. Context Builder is currently being examined to determine to what degree it can be used to design and build arbitrary input/output systems, not just context aware ones.
