Abstract

In this work, we introduce a Model Driven Development method for developing context-aware pervasive systems. This method allows us to specify a context-aware pervasive system at a high level of abstraction by means of a set of models, which describes both the system functionality and the context information. From these models, an automated code generation strategy is applied. This strategy allows us to generate the system Java code that provides the system functionality and as well as an OWL specification that represents the context information and allows us to manage this information without additional burden. Furthermore, this specification is used by a reasoner at runtime to infer context knowledge that is not directly observable, and it is also used by machine learning algorithms to give support to the system adaptation according to the context information.
