Defining a Basic Framework for the Deployment/Adaptation of Pervasive Applications

摘要

The paper presents the result of several work which we completed previously [8] [9] [10] [11]. It is a framework dedicated to emerging pervasive environments whose one of the objectives among others is to deal with the dynamic adaptation of pervasive systems [13] [19]. The framework operates at two steps in the application lifecycle such as i) at development step it assists the developer and helps him to create applications supporting the dynamic adaptation, ii) at run-time it provides means and facilities to the administrator to dynamically adapt the running application. The framework provides a solution to the development cost issues and complexity of dynamic applications. It is intended to be generic i.e. independent from a particular component model.
