Abstract :
Context-Aware Software Systems adapt their response to the execution context. Therefore, context information processing is fundamental, since it determines the behavior of the application. Thus, a mechanism for the collection, representation and validation of context information should be provided. In this paper, an extension of Loucopoulos´ requirements engineering process incorporating context information processing is presented. Two real-world study cases from the home and building automation fields of application are presented.
