  • Abstract
    Context awareness was introduced recently in several fields in quotidian human activities. Among context aware applications, health care systems are the most important ones. Such applications, in order to perceive the context, rely on sensors which may be physical or virtual. However, these applications lack of standardization in handling the context and the perceived sensors data. In this work, we propose a formal context aware application architecture model to deal with the context taking into account the scalability and interoperability as key features towards an abstraction of the context relatively to end user applications. As a proof of concept, we present also a case study and simulation explaining the operational aspect of this architecture in health care systems.
