Towards a Context-Aware Adaptation Approach for Transactional Services

International audienceOne goal of ubiquitous computing is to enable users to access and perform transactions from any location, at any time and from any device. In a context-aware environment, transaction management is a critical task that requires a dynamic adaptation to the changing context in order to provide service reliability and data consistency. In this paper, we propose a new approach for managing context-aware transactional services. Then we discuss the various researches that have addressed this issue. Finally, we propose a new model for the adaptability of context-aware transactional services called CATSM (Context-Aware Transactional Service Model) and the adaptation mechanisms to implement this model
