Self-Aware Context in Smart Home Pervasive Platforms

TLDR
This paper proposes to handle context management in a service-oriented pervasive platform by defining a self-aware solution and associated mechanisms and illustrated with a smart home example implemented in the pervasive platform iCasa.
Abstract
Pervasive computing envisions environments where computers are blended into everyday objects in order to provide added-value services to people. A growing number of advanced embedded systems, extended with computing and communication capabilities, are already appearing around us. However, pervasive applications raise major challenges in terms of software engineering and remain hard to develop, deploy, execute, and maintain. We believe that autonomic techniques are here needed, in particular to deal with context-awareness. In this paper, we propose to handle context management in a service-oriented pervasive platform by defining a self-aware solution and associated mechanisms. Our approach is illustrated with a smart home example implemented in our pervasive platform iCasa.

Self-awareness in Software Engineering: A Systematic Literature Review

TL;DR: Results have shown that self-awareness has been used to enable self-adaptation in systems that exhibit uncertain and dynamic behaviour and that there is growing attention to incorporate self- awareness for better reasoning about the adaptation decision in autonomic systems.

Architectural stability of self-adaptive software systems

Maria Salama
TL;DR: The thesis further investigates the aspect of behavioural stability at the architectural level, as a property concerned with the architecture's capability in maintaining the achievement of expected quality of service and accommodating runtime changes, in order to delay the architecture drifting and phasing-out as a consequence of the continuous unsuccessful provision of quality requirements.
