Abstract. Ubiquitous Computing has become increasingly important, thanks to its attractive aims to provide invisible computing everywhere and anytime. Dealing with Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs), such as usability or privacy, during requirements engineering for Ubiquitous Computing, however, is oftentimes a difficult task, given the unique features of this paradigm (e.g. context-awareness or technological unobtrusiveness). In this paper, we present an approach in which pieces of knowledge about recurring situations in ubiquitous systems are identified and clearly captured as patterns. The approach is illustrated through an example of an e-Learning ubiquitous system.
