Adaptive Process in a Pervasive System - A Holistic Hybrid Approach
Currently few efficient context aware systems that dynamically
adapt business processes to context information exist. This calls
for the study of context data that affect business processes at
runtime, and also a research on adaptive systems that will
dynamically reconfigure a business process at runtime to soot the
current context. Context-aware systems offer entirely new
opportunities for application developers and for end users by
gathering context data and adapting systems behavior
accordingly, especially in combination with mobile devices these
mechanisms are of high value and are used to increase usability
tremendously. Our goal is to develop efficient architectural
frameworks for context aware systems for business processes that
will respond to changing context by adapting itself to a new
context. We propose a hybrid architecture which combines both
middleware technologies and web services.
Keywords: Process Adaptive, Context Aware Systems, Pervasive Systems, Ubiquitous Systems, Context Aware Business Processes, Software Architecture, context modeling.
