Abstract

Pervasive applications are designed to support users in their daily lives. In order to provide their services, these applications interact with the environment, i.e., their context. They either adapt themselves as a reaction to context changes, or adapt the context via actuators according to their needs. If multiple applications are executed in the same context, interferences are likely to occur. In this paper, we present COMITY—a framework for interference management in multi-platform pervasive systems. Based on contracts specifying an application’s interaction with the context, the framework automatically detects interferences and resolves them through a coordinated application adaptation.
