The Rationale for Infrastructure Support for Adaptive and Context-aware Applications: A Position Paper
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research has demonstrated that mobile and wireless applications benefit from a knowledge of their operating environment. Examples of contextaware or adaptive applications have been constructed and evaluated with the results being widely disseminated within the research community. However, the field is still sufficiently new that there are currently no standards for describing, disseminating or managing the necessary contextual information. Moreover, there are no standards (or even accepted best practices) for coordinating adaptation across multiple applications and systems. In this position paper we argue that the lack of standards in this area will inhibit the widespread deployment of many of the compelling context-aware mobile applications currently being designed.

متن کاملSupporting Mobile Context-Aware Applications through a Modular Service Infrastructure
This work presents a modular service infrastructure to support context-awareness in nomadic computing. The proposed approach aims to ease the tasks of (i) deploying, (ii) maintaining, and (iii) extending mobile context-aware systems. The infrastructure allows applications to retrieve and share well-known context attributes by means of ontology-based context-provider components. Moreover, the in...
متن کاملContext-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...
