Service-Oriented Context-Aware Application Design

International audienceContext-aware systems are applications that adapt to several situations involving user, network, data, hardware and the application itself. Researchers in context-awareness have concentrated on how to capture context data and to carry it to the application. In this paper, we study the impact of context on the core of the application, give a new context definition useful for application design, and propose a context-aware architecture providing a functional adaptation to the context
