Lightweight Software Product Line Based Privacy Protection Scheme for Pervasive Applications (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., Smith, S., & Zhao, H. (2011, July). Lightweight Software Product Line Based Privacy Protection Scheme for Pervasive Applications. Presented at 2011 IEEE 35th Annual Computer Software and Applications Conference Workshops

Protecting user's privacy is one of the main concerns for the deployment of pervasive computing systems in the real world. In pervasive environments, the user context information is naturally distributed among different spatial or logical domains. Ma...

Mapping Features to Context Information: Supporting Context Variability for Context-Aware Pervasive Applications (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2010, August). Mapping Features to Context Information: Supporting Context Variability for Context-Aware Pervasive Applications. Presented at 2010 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology

Context-aware computing is widely accepted as a promising paradigm to enable seamless computing. Several middlewares and ontology-based models for describing context information have been developed in order to support context-aware applications. Howe...

CANDEL: Product Line Based Dynamic Context Management for Pervasive Applications (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2010). CANDEL: Product Line Based Dynamic Context Management for Pervasive Applications. In CICIS'10 Proceedings (209-216). https://doi.org/10.1109/cisis.2010.21

In a pervasive environment, it is essential for computing applications to be context-aware. However, one of the major challenges is the establishment of a generic and dynamic context model. Many different approaches to modeling the context exist, but... Read More about CANDEL: Product Line Based Dynamic Context Management for Pervasive Applications.

A Perspective on Middleware-Oriented Context-Aware Pervasive Systems (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2009). A Perspective on Middleware-Oriented Context-Aware Pervasive Systems. In Proceedings - International Computer Software and Applications Conference (249-254). https://doi.org/10.1109/compsac.2009.142

The evolving concepts of mobile computing, context-awareness, and ambient intelligence are increasingly influencing user's experience of services. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to provide an overview of recent developments and implementations... Read More about A Perspective on Middleware-Oriented Context-Aware Pervasive Systems.

A Multiple Viewed Interrelated Ontology Model for Holistic Component Specification and Retrieval (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, C., Liu, X., & Kennedy, J. (2009, December). A Multiple Viewed Interrelated Ontology Model for Holistic Component Specification and Retrieval. Presented at International Conference on Advanced Software Engineering and Its Applications: ASEA 2009, Jeju Island, Korea

Despite the success that Component-Based Development has achieved so far, component mismatch remains as a major hurdle for wider and smoother component reuse due to the lack of effective and automated approaches to component specification and retriev...
