“…Its architecture is divided in four layers [100]: I) Capture, which gathers the useful information from the environment; II) Refinement, where the information from the environment is treated; III) Control, where the decisions over the actions are taken; IV) Action, where the orders from the control layer are received and orders are executed. Although it presents a different layer for separating the acquisition of contextual information from its treatment, SCC resembles the Event-Control-Action (ECA) pattern, that presents solutions for recurring problems associated with managing context information and reacting upon context changes [101]. The main difference between these two patterns is the domain of application.…”

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.

With the growing use of social networking sites (SNS) such as Facebook, MyS p ace and Twitter, p rivacy issues havebecome a major concern es p ecially for children nowadays. There is no doubt that this new form of communication is gaining p opularity nowadays. SNS offer many benefits such as reconnecting long lost friends and communicating with each other by just sitting in front of the screen. However, it raises many ethical and social issues and p rivacy is one of them. Users are often ex p osed to various threats and violations because they do not know how to p rotect their p ersonal information from being revealed to strangers. Hence, a system is needed to assist children in managing and controlling their p rivacy settings. The p rivacy management system p ro p osed in this study is based on a rule based ex p ert system which is used to emulate human intelligence by using rules and conditions. The rules, which are the main com p onent in a rule-based system, are used to determine the suitable privacy settings for children. The p rivacy settings are based on the recommendation obtained from a questionnaire given to the p arents who have a Facebook account and are aware of how to manage and protect their p rivacy

“…In the literature, various techniques have been proposed to develop context-aware systems, including rule-based techniques [10], [3], [11]. In rule-based techniques, a context-aware system composed of a set of rule-based agents, and firing of rules that infer new contexts determine context changes and represent overall behavior of the system.…”

Abstract-This paper complements our previous work on formal modeling of resource-bounded context-aware systems, which handle inconsistent context information using defeasible reasoning, by focusing on automated analysis and verification. A case study demonstrates how model checking techniques can be used to formally analyze quantitative and qualitative properties of a context-aware system based on message passing among agents. The behavior (semantics) of the system is modeled by a term rewriting system and the desired properties are expressed as LTL formulas. The Maude LTL model checker is used to perform automated analysis of the system and verify non-conflicting context information guarantees it provides.
