Abstract
Various methods, apparatuses, devices, and articles of manufacture are provided for use by one or more electronic devices to provide or otherwise identify applications for potential use by a mobile device with respect to a particular environment. For example, a computing device may apply a context-aware filter to identify a list of applications for potential use by a mobile device; and, in response to a first event proffer one or more applications for use by the mobile device; and, in response to a second event withdraw the application for use by the mobile device. In another example, a mobile device may, in response to a first indication that an application has been proffered for use, initiate activation of the application; and, in response to a second indication that the application has been withdrawn for use, initiate deactivation of the application.
