Abstract

Ubiquitous computing systems operate in environments where the available resources significantly change during the system operation, thus requiring adaptive and context aware mechanisms to sense changes in the environment and adapt to new execution contexts. Motivated by this requirement, we propose PACCA, a framework for developing and executing adaptive context aware applications. PACCA employs aspect-oriented techniques to modularize the adaptive behavior and to keep apart the application logic from this behavior. It exploits the synergy between aspect-orientation and dynamic composition to achieve context-aware adaptation, guided by predefined policies.
