Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) provides ubiquitous computing at any place, at any time and in any data format to any user across a network. Context-awareness is a phenomenon where an entity can portray its behavior in a particular time based on facts, rules, and axioms to form a system that is formally called context-aware computing framework. Several frameworks exist for context-awareness either ported from other platforms to android or explicitly build for android platform. Resource-bounded devices like tablet, smart TV, the smartphone and the wireless sensors nodes have several constraints like memory, power, and time that must be considered while designing a framework for resource-bounded devices. This paper surveys various resource-bounded context-aware computing frameworks that are either ported from desktop to android platform or explicitly build for android platform. The key challenges associated with these frameworks and portability issues from desktop to Android platform have also been discussed in detail.
