Enhancing the CATS Framework by Providing Asynchronous Deployment for Mobile Application

Abstract

The work presented in this paper focuses on the use of the CATS framework (a framework dedicated to the adaptation and the deployment of context aware services in the transportation context) on applications designed to assist the user in transportation activities (e.g., driving assistant, visiting a city, finding a parking place etc.). We present a solution to deploy and use these services when users do not have a connection to WAN by using asynchronous solutions based on smart cities infrastructures. A prototype has been developed and evaluated at the end of this paper.
