Abstract

Context-Oriented Programming languages enable the definition of systems that can adapt their behavior according to specific situations in their surrounding environment. Current approaches require developers to have prior knowledge about such situations and the adaptations applicable in each one. Such approach hinders the use of Context-Oriented Programming in modern open systems, in which the totality of the system may be unknown beforehand. We propose context slices which allow the autonomous discovery and composition of adaptations gathered from systems' surrounding environment. Context slices use zero configuration networking services to advertise and discover adaptations in the network, and an ontology structure to manage them. We show the applicability of context slices for cyber physical systems by means of an ambient assisted living scenario.

Programming language support to context-aware adaptation: a case-study with Erlang
SEAMS '10: Proceedings of the 2010 ICSE Workshop on Software Engineering for Adaptive and Self-Managing Systems

Software applications are increasingly situated in a world where context changes continuously. At the same time, applications need to provide continuous service, and the service provided often needs to change in order to adapt to the new contexts. ...
Context traits: dynamic behaviour adaptation through run-time trait recomposition
AOSD '13: Proceedings of the 12th annual international conference on Aspect-oriented software development

Context-oriented programming emerged as a new paradigm to support fine-grained dynamic adaptation of software behaviour according to the context of execution. Though existing context-oriented approaches permit the adaptation of individual methods, in ...
Uniting global and local context behavior with context Petri nets
COP '12: Proceedings of the 4th ACM International Workshop on Context-Oriented Programming

Context-oriented programming enables adaptation of systems to their execution environment. Behavioral adaptations are defined in the system and then associated to a context. Such adaptations are made available at runtime when their context is deemed ...
