Abstract-We propose a novel software platform based on the notion of context-awareness which allows rapid and easy development of context aware applications. One of the fundamental goals of the proposed platform is extensibility, allowing the platform to react to new requirements without making fundamental and substantial changes. The Context Aware Application Development Platform-PCAD-has inspired from an operating system and modeled as a layered architecture. It exhibits a plug-and-play behavior very similar to devices and device drivers found on an operating system/kernel. The platform offers functions such as data management, notification, security and privacy as services. The platform provides a public interface to application developers in their development of context-aware applications. It covers a wide range of disparate application domains such as smart city and livestock monitoring applications.
SUMMARYThe objective of this paper is to present a cohesive measurement planning framework based on our successful practices during the implementation of a measurement process in a leading custom software development company in the logistics service sector in Turkey. The framework established is the result of the process of understanding how to plan software maintenance measurement that conforms to existing ISO/IEC standards, including ISO/IEC 9126, ISO/IEC 14598, and ISO/IEC 15939, and also combining the theoretical aspects of these standards with the realities of the software maintenance process in order to develop a software application. The main contributions of the article include the presentation of a practical solution in ISO-based software measurement methodology and the elimination of the unnecessary and redundant ISO/IEC 9126 quality characteristics or sub-characteristics for the purpose of application of quality model to the company, and identification of the suitable base and derived measurement sets for satisfying the company's infonnation needs.
