Infraestrutura para o desenvolvimento de aplicações cientes de contexto em ambientes pervasivos.

Abstract

Enabling applications to use any contextual information available in pervasive environment is a hard task from the perspective of the developers. In this work is described an approach to make that an easier task: The Lotus, which consists of an infra-structure for developing context-aware applications, providing mechanisms for acquiring, modeling, and delivering contextual information, enabling it to be shared by different applications. The feasibility of this infra-structure was established through development of a case study where was possible verify that Lotus made the contextual information available to the applications, enabling the developer to focuses on application business logic
