Since its appearance, Cloud Computing has motivated the different IT actors to create novel virtual services. Cloud Computing paradigm provide great advantages such as personalisation of services, pay-only when needed and seemingly infinite system scalability.
Context aware systems are smart systems that can change their behaviour depending on the existing context. This type of system is the kind of systems that the end user wants to interact with because it anticipates the needs of the end user and adapts to them. In order to have a good context aware system, this system needs to have a good source of information. This raw information allows context aware systems to be more precise in identifying the current context. Wireless sensor networks provide a rich amount of raw information and thus can be integrated with context aware systems.
Our project tries to virtualise context aware systems using the information coming from wireless sensor networks. Our first contribution is that we portioned context aware systems to functional blocs named substrates. The second contribution is the proposition of an architecture of a context management platform that allows the composition and the deployment of context aware systems in the cloud. This architecture was validated via prototyping and testing. Our last contribution is that we presented a methodology that helps to dimension the substrates.
