Context-aware computing uses information about a user's environment and activities to provide relevant information and services. It aims to reduce manual configuration by allowing systems to self-monitor, self-heal, and self-configure based on contextual information such as location, identity, nearby resources, physiological measurements, and activity. By understanding context, applications can deliver personalized services at the right time without needing direct requests from the user. This leads to a better user experience and business value by providing the right service or information at the right moment through anticipating users' needs.
