Abstract:
The Calculus of Context-aware Ambients (CCA in short)
has been proposed as a notation that is suitable to model
mobile applications that are context-aware. This paper
considers a real-world case study of an infostation-based
mLearning system in which mobile devices such as hand-set
phones, PDA’s and laptops can access a number of services
and communicate to each other within a university campus.
Such a dynamic system must enforce complex policies
to cope with mobility and context-awareness. We show
how policies can be formalised using CCA, and validated
using the execution environment of CCA. We illustrate how
properties can be validated using our approach.
