Abstract

Ubiquitous computing has become a computational paradigm suitable to a wide range of different applications, for example, they can be solutions to regular citizens or useful to handle complex medical environment data. However, resources variations, context-aware, and adaptation are challenges to be overcome in this high mobility and heterogeneous environment. The main goal of this paper is to use dynamic reconfiguration and context notification mechanisms to help the development of mobile and ubiquitous context-aware applications. In order to apply these mechanisms, an adaptive middleware, called AdaptativeRME, that provides these mechanisms, is implemented.
