Tratamento de Exceções Sensível ao Contexto
Abstract
Exception handling on mobile systems is not a trivial task due to their intrinsic characteristics: context-awareness, asynchrony, and intermittent connectivity. Conventional mechanisms of exception handling can not be used for many reasons. One of the main problems is that the error recovery and the exception handling strategies frequently need to be selected according to contextual information. This paper identifies limitations of existent mechanisms, as well as it proposes a new model and architecture for context-sensitive exception handling. The evaluation of our proposal has been performed through the implementation of three applications from heterogeneous domains.
