چکیده
Context-aware services platforms aim at supporting the handling of contextual information in order to provide better user-tailored services. This paper proposes a novel services platform architecture to support mobile context-aware applications, giving emphasis to the configurability of the platform’s generic functionality. The paper introduces concepts and a language to cope with configurability aspects. The paper also reports on the implementation of this architecture in the WASPa platform, which is a Web services-based context-aware services platform that runs on top of 3G networks.

متن کاملTowards a Services Platform for Context-Aware Applications
Context-aware computing deals with the ability of computer systems to take advantage of information from or conditions in the dynamic environment to provide added-value services or to execute more complex tasks. In addition to dealing with explicit input, context-aware applications consider contextual information (implicit input). Context awareness has received attention in recent years with th...
متن کاملArchitectural Requirements for Building Context-Aware Services Platforms
Context-aware platforms aim at providing support to application designers to conceive their context-aware applications using services, mechanisms and interfaces that shield them from the complexity introduced by handling contextual information. This paper explores the essential requirements to be satisfied by context-aware service platforms and proposes a definition of a generic architecture su...
متن کاملTowards Context Oriented Web Services for Smart Personal Object Technologies (COWSPOTS)
Research in the area of Context-Awareness has traditionally focused on location, time, and proximity-based context sensing. Advances in wireless networking technology and in the miniaturization of computing hardware now allow us to contemplate more expansive utilizations of contextual information. In this paper, we advocate the use of Web services as the basis for the next generation of context...
متن کاملMobile Services and Network Proximity
This paper discusses several practical use cases for deploying network proximity in mobile services. Our research presents here mobile services oriented for either discovering new data for mobile subscribers or for delivering some customized information to them. All applications share the same approach and use the common platform, based on the Wi-Fi proximity. The typical deployment areas for o...
