A framework for requirements engineering for context-aware services

Abstract

Context-aware services, especially when made available\rto mobile devices, constitute an interesting but very challenging\rdomain. It poses fundamental problems for both\rrequirements engineering, software architecture, and their\rrelationship. We propose a novel, reflection-based framework\rfor requirements engineering for this class of applications.\rThe framework addresses the key difficulties in this\rfield, such as changing context and changing requirements.\rWe report preliminary work on this framework and suggest\rfuture directions.
