Context-awareness is an essential component of systems developed in areas like Intelligent Environments, Pervasive & Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence. In these emerging fields, there is a need for computerized systems to have a higher understanding of the situations in which to provide services or functionalities, to adapt accordingly. The literature shows that researchers modify existing engineering methods in order to better fit the needs of context-aware computing. These efforts are typically disconnected from each other and generally focus on solving specific development issues. We encourage the creation of a more holistic and unified engineering process that is tailored for the demands of these systems. For this purpose, we study the state-of-the-art in the development of context-aware systems, focusing on: A) Methodologies for developing context-aware systems, analysing the reasons behind their lack of adoption and features that the community wish they can use; B) Context-aware system engineering challenges and techniques applied during the most common development stages; C) Context-aware systems conceptualization.

“…Several approaches to capturing and understanding the environmental and spatial circumstances in which people interact have emerged from the HCI literature (Ciolfi, 2004;Dourish, 2001Dourish, , 2004Fitzpatrick, 2003;Harrison & Dourish, 1996, Suchman, 1987. Some examples of this work (Ciolfi & Bannon, 2005;Messeter, 2009) have shown the benefits of actually using these approaches when designing technologies for museums and public spaces.…”

This article examines visitor interactions with and through a physical/digital installation designed for an open-air museum that displays historic buildings and ways of life from the past. The installation was designed following the "Assembly" design scheme proposed by Fraser et al. (2003), and centered around five principles for the design of interactive experiences. We discuss how the Assembly framework was adapted and applied to our work on the installation called Reminisce, and we then present qualitative data gathered through the shadowing and naturalistic observations of small groups of visitors using Reminisce during their exploration of the museum. Through these data excerpts, we illustrate how interaction occurred among visitors and with the assembly. We reflect on the guiding principles of the adapted Assembly framework and on their usefulness for the design of place-specific interactional opportunities in heritage settings. Results from the empirical study show that the adapted Assembly principles provide HCI (human-computer interaction) researchers and designers with ways in which to flexibly support collocated interactions at heritage sites across artifacts and locations in ways that both complement and enrich the physical setting of the visit and its character.

Fitzpatrick, de inspiración interaccionista pero más decantado hacia la Grounded Theory de Strauss (1993), tiene en cuenta los componentes sociales que establecen el puente entre procesos de trabajo y contextos: conceptos como los de mundo social y marco local le sirven como contexto y situación del proceso de trabajo (Fitzpatrick, 1998;Fitzpatrick, Mansfield y Kaplan, 1996). Mantovani (1996a, b) propone una arquitectura social en tres niveles para establecer el puente entre los contenidos sociales y los diseños y usos de los instrumentos en los procesos de trabajo 2 .…”

ResumenUno de los problemas que acompaña a toda investigación sociológica, y concretamente en lo que se refiere a los procesos de trabajo, consiste en identificar la unidad de análisis y sus contextos. Este artículo analiza dicha problemática a partir del estudio de caso del servicio de esterilización de un hospital. El objetivo consiste en proponer un modelo descriptivo que, primero, establezca los diferentes niveles implicados en los procesos sociales, y concretamente en los de trabajo; segundo, que identifique entre dichos niveles la unidad de análisis más pertinente, así como su contenido y sus fronteras, siempre flexibles, y, tercero, que identifique también, dentro de dichas unidades, los agentes internos y externos, poniendo en evidencia sus mecanismos y sus modos de intervención. Palabras clave: interacción, entorno y proceso de trabajo, contexto, agentes sociales. Abstract. The unit of analysis, its agents and contexts and the ways of interaction in the work processes: a case studyOne of the problems that accompanies all sociological research, especially the work processes, consists in identifying the unit of analysis and its contexts. This paper analyzes this problem from the case study of the sterilization service at a hospital. The objective of this paper is to propose a descriptive model that, first of all, establishes the different levels implied in the social and work processes; secondly, it identifies, among these levels, the most relevant unit of analysis as well as his content and flexible limits, and thirdly, it also identifies for this units the internal and external agents, showing his mechanisms and ways of intervention.
