Abstract:
Many programming models have been proposed to facilitate
the development of context-aware applications. However, previous work
does not offer support for building customised systems and has largely
been targeted at a single application domain. In this paper, we describe
MoCoA, a flexible middleware framework that permits the rapid development
of context-aware applications and supports deployment scenarios
ranging from augmented artefacts to city-wide smart-space applications.
Crucially, MoCoA supports a small set of programming abstractions that
are suitable for building a wide range of context-aware applications for
deployment in a fixed or (ad hoc) mobile environment. For each of these
abstractions, MoCoA provides a set of implementations via a library of
components. We present three applications of the MoCoA framework
that demonstrate both the use of the programming abstractions and the
flexibility of the framework.
