Abstract

Context-aware systems based on location open up new possibilities to users in terms of acquiring custom services by gathering context information, especially in systems where the high mobility of users increases their usability. In this context, this article presents a privacy-preserving solution offering context-aware services based on location in MCC. We propose a middleware, called PRECISE, which provides users with custom context-aware recommendations. These recommendations are given by considering the context information, and the users' locations, privacy policies, and previously visited places. MCC plays a key role in this solution, moving the data processing and storage needs to the cloud, as well as further advantages such as elasticity and load balancing. A thorough discussion when comparing PRECISE with other related works confirms that our solution improves the most relevant proposals so far.
