Current Practices on Model-based Context-aware Adaptation
Vivian Genaro Motti, Dave Raggett, Jean M. Vanderdonckt · 2013
The scientific community has already investigated in depth the benefits of combining model-based approaches for implementing context-aware adaptation. As benefits, it can be highlighted: lower development costs, faster time to market, higher usability levels, optimal usage of the resources available and a better user interaction. Although these benefits are claimed, for practitioners it may be not always evident that they actually compensate for the costs of incorporating such practices into daily work practices. Based on the hypothesis that such practices are not widely adopted, we defined and applied a survey of practitioners to identify if and how they actually perceive and adopt such approaches. This paper describes the survey, its application and discusses the results obtained.
