Publication Details Author(s): Florian Daniel Title: Context-Aware Applications for the Web: a Model-Driven Development Approach Reference: Context-Aware Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing for Enhanced Usability: Adaptive Technologies and Applications, edited by Dragan Stojanovic, 2009, IGI Global, Hershey PA, USA, Pages 59-82. Abstract: Adaptivity (the runtime adaptation to user profile data) and context-awareness (the runtime adaptation to generic context data) have been gaining momentum in the field of Web engi-neering over the last years, especially in response to the ever growing demand for highly per-sonalized services and applications coming from end users. Developing context-aware and adaptive Web applications requires addressing a few design concerns that are proper of such kind of applications and independent of the chosen modeling paradigm or programming lan-guage. In this chapter we characterize the design of context-aware Web applications, we de-scribe a conceptual, model-driven development approach, and we show how the peculiarities of context-awareness require augmenting the expressive power of conceptual models in order to be able to express adaptive application behaviors.
