Context Sensitive Intelligence

Software-Development for Adaptation

Project Goals

In the CSI project we research towards an infrastructure for context-driven software adaptation. Our two foci are: support developers in building adaptive software, support end-users with intelligent self-adaptive software.

Organisation

CSI is funded by the Deutsche Telekom Laboratories.
The project started in autumn 2004 and runs until autumn 2007.

Motivation

In a world which is more and more provided with pervasive computing, end-users of mobile devices face an increasing complexity in using available, computer-assisted services in many different contexts. The users' mobile devices have to be adaptive to changing situations and requirements in a preferably automatic and user-friendly way. The developer needs a highly-flexible framework which enables users to make use of basic functionalities and provides service-providers with an easily extensible architecture to facilitate the development of new services.

Research Questions

• How should we model context?
• What kind of software adaptations are required?
• How should context changes be mapped to software adaptation needs?
• Which software technologies serve the demands for implementing adaptability most appropriately?
