Context-aware software provides adapted services to users or other software components. On the other hand, Autonomic Pervasive Computing uses Context to reduce the complexity of pervasive system utilization, management and maintenance. This paper introduces two Context-awareness models, the macro and micro approaches, that define and integrate contextual views of individual pervasive components (micro level) and global knowledge of the system (macro level). These models are presented and compared with respect to their ability to meet the requirements of the Autonomic Pervasive Computing concept of the four selves.
