Summary
Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp) proposes a computation paradigm where services become invisible to the user and interaction is offered in a natural way. Considering the high heterogeneity of technologies and user requirements involved in Ubicomp systems, these systems become difficult to adjust to the specific user needs. The present work, introduces a framework for the reconfiguration of Ubicomp systems. This framework is based on the modeling of system variability and the definition of service policies that describe the user requirements about the different services. In order to validate the proposal, the presented ideas have been applied to PervML, an existing software development method for Ubicomp systems. As a result, the obtained systems are enhanced with reconfiguration capabilities.
This work has been developed with the support of MEC under the project SESAMO TIN2007-62894 and cofinanced by FEDER.
