In the context of software development, models provide an abstract representation of a
software system or a part of it. In the software development process, they are primarily used …

With the rapid growth of socio-technical ecosystems, smart interactions and services are
permeating every walk of life. As smart interactions must managed automatically and …

Context awareness is an essential feature of pervasive applications and runtime detection of
context changes is necessary for enabling context awareness. Context aware applications …

As every-day mobile devices can easily be equipped with multiple sensing capabilities,
ubiquitous applications are expected to exploit the richness of the context information that …

Context aware software systems and adaptive software systems sense changes in their
environments, and respond by changing their behaviour and/or structure appropriately. The …

Many software systems need to be developed with adaptation in mind, where at runtime they
need to detect changes in their operating environments and adapt themselves to cope with …

This paper presents a systematic literature review to gain insight into the growing area of
awareness maintenance. A systematic review of papers from 1970 to 2010 examines the …

In ubiquitous computing environments, applications must be able to respond to dynamic
context changes in order to provide suitable services to users. A promising solution consists …

In a cooperative convoy, a vehicle interacts with other vehicles, service providers and
infrastructure systems to make the travel safe and convenient. Through these interactions a …

Informing cyber-physical systems (I-CPSs) are to create and distribute context-dependent
and customized messages for humans or other system stakeholders. In most of the hazard …
