A Context Sensor Development Framework for SOA-based Collaborative Working Environments
Autor: Dipl.-Ing. Florian Schöllhammer

Abstract:

In collaborative working environments (CWE), context describes people, artefacts,
activities and resources. One major challenge in this domain is to sense context
changes. However, the integration and deployment of context sensors often poses a
serious problem, since in pervasive SOA-based collaboration environment the sensor
developer is not able to change 3rd party services by adding sensor modalities. To
mitigate this shortcoming, our approach focuses on analysing the message exchange
between service provider and service consumer. In this thesis we design and implement
a toolkit that simplifies the development and deployment of SOA-based context
sensors, filtering and forwarding SOAP messages as well as managing context data.
