Abstract: | The ubiquitous computing scenario is characterized by heterogeneity of devices used to access services, and by frequent changes
in the user’s context. Hence, adaptation according to the user’s context and the used devices is necessary to allow mobile
users to efficiently exploit Internet-based services. In this paper, we present a distributed framework, named MIMOSA, that
couples a middleware for context-awareness with an intermediary-based architecture for content adaptation. MIMOSA provides
an effective and efficient solution for the adaptation of Internet services on the basis of a comprehensive notion of context,
by means of techniques for aggregating context data from distributed sources, deriving complex contextual situations from
raw sensor data, evaluating adaptation policies, and solving possible conflicts. The middleware allows programmers to modularly
build complex adaptive services starting from simple ones, and includes tools for assisting the user in declaring her preferences,
as well as mechanisms for detecting incorrect system behaviors due to a wrong choice of adaptation policies. The effectiveness
and efficiency of MIMOSA are shown through the development of a prototype adaptive service, and by extensive experimental
evaluations. |
