Dynamic Context-Aware Service Adaptation in a Pervasive Computing System

Abstract

Pervasive computing requires that devices must be context-aware in order to provide proactively adapted services to both user and applications according to the current context. Most of the proposed approaches of service adaptation in a pervasive computing system are either not context-aware or based on an inappropriate definition of context. In this paper we propose a context-aware dynamic service adaptation approach for a device operating in a pervasive computing system. The approach is then modeled using colored Petri Nets and simulated using the CPN-Tools in order to validate it.
