Context-Aware Systems Architecture (CaSA)

Context-aware systems are becoming increasingly mainstream as more and technology allows real-time collection of daily life data it is affordable to provide useful services citizens in various situations need. However, developers this field not well supported. Naturally we have inherited a number methods tools from past software engineering efforts create previous computing systems. However the most recent generation dominated by sensing supported context-awareness integrating variety sources with higher expectation personalized delivered at right time, place form, Developers need guidance support pinpoint those valuable contexts work out ways detecting them activating associated these contexts. Our community has reported on they created however much emerging way methodology, standard, transferable body advice which can help teams next time develop new system. In article explain couple complementary methodologies tried tested through development different context-aware projects. We argue practical usefulness an initial valid point discussion for our evolved versions be widely identify good practice area.
