Developing Pervasive and Adaptive Applications with MAADE

Pervasive computing is one of the most active research fields because it promises the creation of environments where computing and communication devices are effectively integrated with users so th at applications can provide largely invisible support for tasks performed by users. This paper presents an environment for software development, called MAADE (Multi Adaptive Agent Development Environm...

Flow-driven Interactions for Adaptive Pervasive Applications

The era of ubiquitous and pervasive computing technology opens the world for new pervasive applications and services within the physical surroundings. Often users find themselves dealing and interacting with multiple applications simultaneously to achieve certain goals to satisfy certain motive. Currently, pervasive computing applications are individually created and tailored with little or no ...

Architectural Constraints for Pervasive Adaptive Applications

To face the challenge in today’s mobile applications, that software entities and devices enter and leave the application scope very frequently, component-based architectures are used more and more. With the flexibility of this concept and the ability to handle a huge amount of situations come inpredictability and less reliability of the application. This article presents a “safety net” weaved b...

Developing context-aware pervasive computing applications: Models and approach

There is growing interest in the use of context-awareness as a technique for developing pervasive computing applications that are flexible, adaptable, and capable of acting autonomously on behalf of users. However, context-awareness introduces a variety of software engineering challenges. In this paper, we address these challenges by proposing a set of conceptual models designed to support the ...
