“…In [31], we tackled this question by considering multiple dimensions necessary for supporting context on software applications in a context engineering roadmap. This roadmap represents, for us, a first step towards a global approach, allowing us to better grasp the different aspects involved in the management of context information.…”

“…Additionally, in [32] we extended this roadmap in order to take into account quality aspects on context management. Indeed, the roadmap proposed in [31] does not consider the influence of quality, limiting its analysis to a few dimensions, such as the acquisition of context data. Still, managing the quality of context information demands a deeper reflection about the consequences of quality on the application behavior, and its influence over every aspect of context management.…”

“…It is only through this knowledge that the above-mentioned understanding will be developed. In the past, we have identified a set of dimensions, which we consider to be necessary for such support [31] and analyzed the impact of quality considerations on such dimensions [32]. These dimensions act as guidelines in a requirement analysis process, helping non-expert users to identify necessary issues on context support for new software applications.…”

“…Together, all these aspects, analyzed separately in [31] [32], offer a global view of the challenges involved with software support for the notion of context. In this paper, we discuss this global view, thanks to a literature review pointing out existing solutions and open issues related to context support and management.…”

“…The paper is organized as follows: Section 2 introduces our motivations and illustrative scenarios; Section 3 discusses the context engineering dimensions and their quality support, extending what we have proposed in [31] and [32]; Section 4 introduces a literature review, pointing out challenges and solutions for each context support dimension; finally, Section 5 discusses conclusions and future work.…”

Engineering context-aware applications, i.e. applications that are able to adapt their behavior according to context information, is a complex task. Not only is context a large and complex notion, but its support on software applications involves tackling multiple challenges and issues. These challenges involve not only technical challenges, but also quality concerns. Indeed, with the growing development of context-aware applications, it is becoming essential to start considering the quality of context on every step of the application development. The goal of this paper is to provoke discussion on the issues related to the support of the notion of context and its quality concerns on software applications. We present here a roadmap on context management considering different dimensions of supporting context and quality of context (QoC) on software applications, and a literature review of solutions and issues related to these dimensions. Through these, we aim at sharing with non-expert designers the necessary expertise on context management allowing them to better understand the notion of context and QoC and their challenges. RÉSUMÉ. La conception d'applications sensibles au contexte, i.e. applications capables d'adapter leur comportement au contexte d'exécution, est une tâche complexe. Non seulement la notion de contexte correspond à un concept large et complexe, mais également son support au sein d'un logiciel implique la prise en compte de plusieurs challenges. Ceux-ci ne se limitent pas aux challenges techniques, incluant aussi le support à la qualité de contexte (QoC). Avec le développement croissant de ces applications, il devient essentiel de considérer la notion de qualité à chaque étape de leur développement. L'objectif ici est ainsi d'inciter la discussion et la prise de conscience sur ces différents aspects liés à la gestion de contexte et de ses paramètres de qualité. Nous présentons une roadmap tenant compte des différentes dimensions nécessaires à la gestion de contexte, ainsi qu'une révision de littérature discutant les solutions et les problèmes liés à ces dimensions. A travers ces éléments, nous voulons partager une connaissance nécessaire à la compréhension de la notion de contexte et de QoC, et à la conception d'applications sensibles au contexte par de concepteurs non-experts. KEYWORDS. Context-aware computing, context engineering, Quality of Context. MOTS-CLÉS. Informatique sensible au contexte, ingénierie de contexte, qualité de contexte.
