Abstract
The feasibility of the context domains approach for context management is demonstrated through an implementation of a distributed middleware. Test results have shown that the implementation’s performance is appropriate to the target scenario. The event engine of the middleware is based on a distributed event-based system called Naradabrokering. In particular, the middleware adopts Naradabrokering’s XML engine. Context information is represented as XML events, which the engine matches with context interests described in XPath expressions. This middleware allows the development of context-aware applications for mobile devices, and runs in two platforms: Android and Java J2ME CDC 1.1.
