Enabling Context-Based Cooperation: A Generic Context Model and Management System

Abstract. In order to realise complex service-based applications on system platforms for context-aware ubiquitous computing environments, mobile processes have been introduced to support cooperation among (mobile) devices by exchanging and executing arbitrary (business) processes. In such a view, middleware platforms that support the execution and migration of mostly a priori unknown processes need a generic and also application-independent context system. Accordingly, this paper presents an approach for a generic context model and management platform to support such context-based cooperation as currently developed and used in the project DEMAC (Distributed Environment for MobilityAware Computing).
