Wcomp: a Multi-Design Approach for Prototyping Applications using Heterogeneous Resources

This paper presents Wcomp which is a framework for rapid application prototyping. This framework has been developed for targeting wearable computing applications but can also be used in the field of pervasive and contextaware computing. In the first part of the paper, we investigate the possibility of taking into consideration the relations between software components and resources of the “operating context” in our Wcomp platform. Secondly, we investigate the opportunity of taking a multi-designer approach in order to adapt the application to multiple wellsuited representations. Then we introduce in the platform a new design approach based on patterns of interactions called ISL4Wcomp.
