Prospects for Context Prediction Despite the Principle of Informational Self-Determination

摘要

Until now informational self-determination has not been examined in relation to context prediction. The right of users to decide whether or not and how they want their personal data to be used is not ensured. This paper analyses the problem by introducing the state of the art and application fields of context prediction with focus on the users’ personal data. Subsequently, informational self-determination and the problems that arise if techniques of context prediction compete with informational self determination will be presented. Finally, possible solutions for overcoming these problems will be outlined.
