Carnegie Mellon's MyCampus Project

The MyCampus project describes itself as follows:

myCampus is a Semantic Web environment for context-aware mobile services aimed at enhancing everyday campus life at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). The environment revolves around a growing collection of task-specific agents capable of automatically accessing a variety of contextual information about their users (e.g. context-aware restaurant concierge, context-aware message filtering agent, etc.). A central element of the myCampus architecture is its use of Semantic eWallets that support the automated discovery and access of contextual resources (e.g. personal resources, organizational resources or public web services) subject to privacy (or confidentiality) constraints specified by their users.
