Abstract

The development of mobile context-aware applications using sensors require the developers to understand several diverse issues: signal acquisition, network protocols, embedded systems, data filtering, etc. We designed and implemented a software framework in order to assist developers in prototyping. Our framework facilitates the use of sensors from wearable devices and supports the reusability of components following a modular approach. This paper describes the design of our approach and highlights the benefits of the framework for the development of mobile applications. To evaluate the framework, representative context-aware applications are described as a case study. The usability of the applications were tested with 26 participants and good results were obtained.
