Event-driven modeling for context-aware information systems

Abstract

In mobile computing developers will need to develop applications that will interact with the end user. Context-aware applications notify or ask users what they want based on what they have sensed or on a user profile. Event-driven mobile computing detects conditions of interest to users and notifies them accordingly. In this paper we discuss the importance and challenges in designing event-driven applications through a comparison between some event-driven metamodels and propose an event metamodel to instantiate productive and comprehensible models.
