Abstract

Non-technical designers are using pervasive, context aware and mobile technologies as new design media to deliver unique user experiences and new values. Designer, artists and technologists often collaborate to design and develop these new media applications. In such multi-disciplinary collaborations, lack of suitable development tools and software engineering methods often pose non-trivial challenges. The requirements for a development toolkit for such contexts are enumerated. The rational behind usage of Mobile Experience Engine, a suitable CASE tool, is presented along with its high level architecture. This paper also examines how this tool supports various software engineering tasks during context aware mobile application development.
