iML: extension of UML for designing Context-Aware Services
In the last decade, the IT industry has been oriented and deeply influenced by the the prospecting of both mobile and ubiquitous computing trends. PDAs, smart phones and other devices have already freed us from the technological shackles of workstations and desktops.
Since the use of context as a concept, a new generation of information systems was born, named context-sensitive services (CAS), and became an essential technology for the creation of context-aware applications. Unfortunately, the multiplicity of execution services and the difficulty to model the context makes the CAS quite challenging to adopt.
In this document, we will start by presenting our meta-model of context based on an accurate specification of searching e-deals. Then, based on this meta-model, we will propose a detailed specification of Context Aware Service and meta-model.
Keywords: Context-Aware Service; Context meta-model
