Modeling and Managing Context-Aware Systems' Variability

Context Modeling for Context-Aware Systems

Modeling context is a key factor for enabling context-aware systems to be responsive to users’ needs and consequently for making computing “invisible”. A context model, which is a product of context modeling, provides a systematic way of identifying and representing knowledge about users’ environment in context-aware architecture. Through this knowledge, and its sensing and reasoning capabiliti...

Context-aware systems: concept, functions and applications in digital libraries

Background and Aim Among the places that context-aware systems and services would be very useful, are libraries. The purpose of this study is to achieve a coherent definition of context aware systems and applications, especially in digital libraries. Method: This was a review article that was conducted by using Library method by searching articles and e-books on websites and databases. Results:...

Modeling Privacy Control in Context-Aware Systems

M any worry that existing privacy problems will only worsen in context-aware pervasive computing environments. 1,2 Ubiquitous sensing and the invisible form factor of embedded computing devices have made it easier than ever to collect and use information about individuals without their knowledge. Sensitive private information might live indefinitely and appear anywhere at anytime. Moreover, the...

Modeling Context-Aware Distributed Event-Based Systems

Emerging applications are becoming increasingly dynamic, adaptive and context-aware in areas such as just-in-time location-based m-commerce, situational health monitoring, and dynamic social networking collaboration. Although numerous systems and implementation infrastructures have been proposed to deal with some features of such systems, there is a lack of higher-level modeling abstractions an...
