“…Mizouni et al [31] presented a framework for context-aware self-adaptive mobile applications using the advantages of the software product line feature modelling to manage variability. Projects such as MUSIC [32] [33] [34], also support the development of self-adaptive systems in ubiquitous environments.…”

“…The human-centred computing methodology [187] mentions that ethnomethodologically informed ethnography can be applied for understanding the situation of use, but they do not deeply explain how the technique should be applied. Also, MUSIC [32] and CML [183] mention requirements, but do not explain into detail the techniques. DiaSuite [127] offers perfective maintenance for the system, but does not support adaptive, preventive or corrective ones.…”

“…No methodology enables the requirement elicitation with a tool, and only DiaSuite [127] allows the maintenance with one. MIRIE [115] offers a strong formal verification support, while MUSIC [32], PerDe [188] and DiaSuite [127] offer verification based on simulation. It has to be acknowledged that DiaSuite [127] is one of the most complete methodologies, regarding to these factors and within the scope of this survey.…”

Context-awareness is an essential component of systems developed in areas like Intelligent Environments, Pervasive & Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence. In these emerging fields, there is a need for computerized systems to have a higher understanding of the situations in which to provide services or functionalities, to adapt accordingly. The literature shows that researchers modify existing engineering methods in order to better fit the needs of context-aware computing. These efforts are typically disconnected from each other and generally focus on solving specific development issues. We encourage the creation of a more holistic and unified engineering process that is tailored for the demands of these systems. For this purpose, we study the state-of-the-art in the development of context-aware systems, focusing on: A) Methodologies for developing context-aware systems, analysing the reasons behind their lack of adoption and features that the community wish they can use; B) Context-aware system engineering challenges and techniques applied during the most common development stages; C) Context-aware systems conceptualization.

Abstract.A research topic of growing interest is the convergence between Collaborative Systems and Ubiquitous Computing, where context awareness is becoming a tool for enhancing collaboration processes. The application of Ubiquitous Computing concepts in the improvement of collaboration strategies created a research front called Ubiquitous Collaboration. This article proposes a framework to aid the development of collaborative applications for ubiquitous environments, called MaPS. MaPS works at one relevant stage of the collaboration. It uses context information and user profiles to improve the search for peers and the selection of communication channels. The article proposes the framework, its requirements and its architecture. Moreover, we describe a prototype and two applications which were developed with it. The framework was evaluated considering software development, based on the experience got in the implementation of the applications and aspects of functionalities. It was made through a scenario involving active participants. The results of both evaluations show the potential for using MaPS.

“…In addition, Ubiquitous Computing can facilitate the establishment of sustainable computing. This environmental change provides companies with new business opportunities (u-Business services) [1][2][3]. However, most u-Business services that are developed remain at an experimental (or trial) level, and incidences of advancing the service for commercialization (or industrialization) are rare [4][5][6].…”

Most business services based on Ubiquitous Computing are being designed with a sole focus on the technological sector, without considering business elements. In light of this trend, this study was intended to design a user-oriented u-Business service for preventing and promptly responding to industrial disasters at shipbuilding sites using a systematic methodology. Specifically, major danger elements of disasters in need of preferential preventive and responsive measures were derived as business opportunities unfulfilled by the current process, and then a u-Business service was developed to prevent/respond to such dangers. Statistical analysis was performed on the developed services according to evaluation models, and the final u-Business service was selected based on this analysis. Resources and information systems were designed to support the chosen service.
