The emerging pervasive platforms have to address several challenges such as mobility, multimodality, context-awareness and content adaptation. However, implementing adaptation using conventional development techniques is challenging as adaptation requirements tend to affect multiple elements of a pervasive environment. Moreover, a feature model for pervasive applications will help both to deploy various configurations of the middleware tailored to each device. But, several crosscutting variable features and dependencies between features are commonly found in pervasive computing. To address this problem we propose an aspect-oriented middleware platform, able to deal with the high dynamic issue of pervasive systems. In this paper, we present the key architectural concepts of our platform, and we provide implementation details of typical use case.
