Jabber-based cross-domain efficient and privacy-ensuring context management framework. (2013)
Journal Article
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2013). Jabber-based cross-domain efficient and privacy-ensuring context management framework. International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, 4, 84

In pervasive environments, context-aware applications require a global knowledge of the context information distributed in different spatial domains in order to establish context-based interactions. Therefore, the design of distributed storage, retri... Read More about Jabber-based cross-domain efficient and privacy-ensuring context management framework..

An approach to cross-domain situation-based context management and highly adaptive services in pervasive environments (2012)
Thesis
Jaroucheh, Z. An approach to cross-domain situation-based context management and highly adaptive services in pervasive environments. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/5348

The concept of context-awareness is widely used in mobile and pervasive computing to reduce explicit user input and customization through the increased use of implicit input. It is considered to be the corner stone technique for developing pervasive...

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...

An approach to domain-based scalable context management architecture in pervasive environments (2011)
Journal Article
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2012). An approach to domain-based scalable context management architecture in pervasive environments. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 16(6), 741-755. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-011-0422-0

In pervasive environments, context management systems are expected to administrate large volume of contextual information that is captured from spatial to nonspatial elements. Research in context-aware computing produced a number of middleware system... Read More about An approach to domain-based scalable context management architecture in pervasive environments.

Recognize contextual situation in pervasive environments using process mining techniques (2010)
Journal Article
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2011). Recognize contextual situation in pervasive environments using process mining techniques. Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing, 2(1), 53-69. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12652-010-0038-7

Research in pervasive computing and ambience intelligence aims to enable users to interact with the environment in a context-aware way. To achieve this, a complex set of features describing different aspects of the environment has to be captured and...

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...

Apto: A MDD-Based Generic Framework for Context-Aware Deeply Adaptive Service-Based Processes (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2010, July). Apto: A MDD-Based Generic Framework for Context-Aware Deeply Adaptive Service-Based Processes. Presented at 2010 IEEE International Conference on Web Services

Context-awareness and adaptability are important and desirable properties of service-based processes designed to provide personalized services. Most of the existing approaches focus on the adaptation at the process instance level [1] which involves e...
