الملخص

With the widespread use of mobile devices, a new generation of ubiquitous applicationshas emerged in daily life activities, making information available everywhere and at any moment. Context-awareness is the feature that allows these applications to be smart, by enablingthem to continuously detect the user’s current situation and to assist him or her by adapting theapplication’s behavior accordingly.In the same vein, designing context-aware applications involves new challenges not presentin traditional ones, including the perpetual variations in contextual information and the differentinteractions with sensors. This has propelled the software engineers to introduce additionalrequirements analysis and enhanced modeling techniques capable of dealing with the differentcontextual parameters that may affect the application’s behavior.The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the most commonly used language to specify,visualize, and document the artifacts of software systems. Nevertheless, existing UML diagrams are too general to describe context-aware systems adequately, they do not offer suitablenotations to distinguish context-awareness from other system requirements.This thesis proposes a new modeling approach called the Context Unified Modeling Language (CUML), which is an extension of UML diagrams to cater for the specification, visualization, and documentation of context-aware computing systems.In this thesis, we present a number of contributions through which we have succeeded in (i)A novel notion called ContextClass diagram, which extends the UML Class diagram to modelthe structure of context-aware systems by monitoring the contextual aspects that characterizethem. (ii) A novel notion called ContextSequence diagram, which extends the UML Sequencediagram to model the interactions as well as the adaptation behavior of context-aware systems.(iii) A set of concrete modeling editors. (iv) A case study in the healthcare field to demonstratethe pragmatics of the proposed approach
