ABSTRACT
When designing context-aware applications, it is difficult to for designers in the studio or lab to envision the contextual conditions that will be encountered at runtime. Designers need a tool that can create/re-create naturalistic contextual states and transitions, so that they can evaluate an application under expected contexts. We have designed and developed RePlay: a system for capturing and playing back sensor traces representing scenarios of use. RePlay contributes to research on ubicomp design tools by embodying a structured approach to the capture and playback of contextual data. In particular, RePlay supports: capturing naturalistic data through Capture Probes, encapsulating scenarios of use through Episodes, and supporting exploratory manipulation of scenarios through Transforms. Our experiences using RePlay in internal design projects illustrate its potential benefits for ubicomp design.

A model-driven approach for quality of context in pervasive systems
A proposal for modeling quality of context (QoC) for pervasive systems is presented.The MLContext modeling language is extended to support QoC.A Model-Driven approach is applied to generate software artefacts related to QoC.The proposal has been ...
Categorising Context and Using Short Term Contextual Information to Obtain Long Term Context
TRUSTCOM '12: Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and CommunicationsContext Aware computing has been one of the most challenging and interesting developments from the past decade. But as it turns out, context is a poorly used source of information which, most of the times is utilized inefficiently in Ubiquitous ...
