Service-Oriented Adaptation in Ubiquitous Computing Environments
In: The 2009 International Symposium on Embedded and Pervasive Systems (EPS-09), Vancouver, Canada.
Ubiquitous computing environments may offer dynamically discoverable services that can be utilized by adaptive applications to improve their functionality and quality of service. We have developed a general software development framework for context-aware adaptive applications. In this paper we present our novel modeling concepts that extend an existing component-based modeling approach by serviceoriented adaptation. With our new extensions a dynamically discovered service may replace an application component if it increases the overall utility of the application. We discuss open questions and point to potential solution approaches.
