Abstract

Nowadays software systems must adapt themselves to suit the specific context in which they operate. Context-awareness concepts are suitable for systems that must be optimally configured during execution. Because they allow systems to interact with real world by deciding the degree of adaptation the environment requires. In this sense, this paper presents our approach that consists of a CMA-EV architecture for the development of context-aware event-based systems, from the modeling phase through a context management architecture extended by event processing and variability management. Also, a discussion about the importance and challenges in designing context-aware and event-based applications is presented. An essential aspect that is often neglected in context modeling and also triggers adaptation is the context variability. This paper puts the light on this notion and proposes context feature model that would help the designer in programming adaptation for context-aware systems. All crucial these notions (context, event, and variability) are combined in our proposed CMA-EV architecture for the development of context aware and event-based system extended by variability management. Moreover, a Smart Tourism Recommender System (STRS), that respect personal preferences and capture usage, personal, social and environmental contextual parameters, is implemented to validate our approach.
