Designing a context-aware distributed system: asking the key questions

Abstract

Our previous research identified clear business benefits
and the need for an intelligent information flow algorithm
that could match information delivery requirements for
mobile workers to the capability of the delivery networks.
The primary mechanism in our model, which acts a
delivery system to the algorithm, essentially involves the
matching of the user’s context against a previously
documented workflow process model.
However, in designing such a system it is important to
determine whether it can withstand all scenarios. In this
paper, we set out a series of key questions that should be
asked of the design of any context-aware distributed
system. From these answers, we postulate how the model
we have developed can be enhanced to accommodate them.
