Towards a Framework for Context-Aware Mobile Information Systems

Design and development of context-aware Information Systems (ISs) is particularly complex, owing to the increasing dependency of people on computing support for making simple decisions or performing their daily tasks. Thus, the need of designing more attractive, adaptable and proactive systems is persistent. In this paper, we present a state of the art of context-aware approaches that are compared and classified. Furthermore, this work tries to support the development of context-aware IS by proposing a context model and defining a modeling context-aware requirements at a suitable level of abstraction by goal-oriented method.
