Requirements Systematization through Pattern Application in Ubiquitous Systems

Abstract

Application of patterns to address Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) is a field that has not been widely explored, and that is still uncovered in the scope of Ubiquitous Computing. The unique features of this paradigm, such as context-awareness or technological unobtrusiveness, present a challenge to appropriately treat the specific NFRs related to this field. In this paper, recurring situations in ubiquitous systems have been identified and captured as patterns, which can be used to satisfy NFRs in different domains. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2013.
