Introduction of End User Development in Context Aware System: End User Developable Context Aware System (EUDCASys)

Context Awareness (CA) is an important capability needed in devices in a ubiquitous computing environment. Ubiquitous computing devices use different types of sensors along with the user’s interaction histories to collect and store data. This data is then used to adapt the user’s behavior to suit the current environment. End User Development (EUD) capability is an essential part of any flexible ubiquitous computing system. When EUD based system is well designed it allows users to add functionality that was not, and in many cases, could not have been anticipated by the system’s designers. This enables users to benefit fully the possibilities ubiquitous computing offers. In this research paper we would like to propose a system that is context aware in one hand and end user developable in the other hand – End User Developable Context Aware System (EUDCASys). The proposed EUDCASys will be both adaptive and adaptable in nature.
