The Future Internet era dictates the deployment of high complexity systems having a variety of properties such as adaptivity, self-configuration and self-optimization. This paper discusses on the design and deployment of a context-aware management architecture, for mixed-criticality applications. The architecture of an autonomous smart building system is described, focusing on diverse requirement satisfaction, including response time, energy efficiency and users' needs. The main objective of the architecture is to investigate the relationships between context awareness characteristics and mixed-criticality aspects, and to identify ways to exploit the one in favor of the other. The analysis provides solid evidence that such an architecture is realistic and can lead to highly competitive systems.
