Abstract

Pervasive applications have been designed to support users in their everyday life. For this purpose, they are able to interact with their physical environment, their context. They are aware of their context and use this information for configuration decisions. Furthermore, they can actively modify the context to meet their user’s needs. This leads to new challenges in multi-user environments as applications which are executed simultaneously share a common context and thus can directly impact each other. In this paper we present a framework to coordinate multiple pervasive applications explicitly considering their context-interactivity. We show how application coordination can be integrated in an existing component-based system exemplified by our system PCOM. We conduct measurements for the extended system and discuss the obtained results.
