Research on Modeling Approach Towards Context-aware Computing
Renfa Li · Computing Technology and Automation · 2006
Context-aware computing is a mobile computing paradigm in which applications can discover and take advantage of contextual information.In general,context-aware is a distributed,large scale,sophisticated and hybrid system.In this paper, we present a PtolemyⅡbased modeling approach.In this approach,we combine a hierarchical modeling methodology with finite state machine(FSM),and limit the state number of the FSM,then extend state to have ability to execute predefined scripts and modeled by other components.This approach is very useful and has many benefits in context-aware computing development.It can be used to reduce complexity of context-aware system modeling and support rapid prototype development.
