ABSTRACT
The development of context-aware applications makes face to many challenges. These applications must take into account context definition, representation, interpretation and reuse. Most ubiquitous applications focus on the development of legacy artifacts or ad hoc architectures to capture and to adapt context into business logics. There is no pattern for context-aware development. In this paper, we present an ODM-based Architecture for the Development of Mobile Context-aware Applications. ODM (Ontology Definition Metamodel) is the OMG proposition for the development of ontologies founded on the concepts of the Model Driven Engineering. Our architecture provides the development of context-aware activities and business logic in independent and individual models and on different abstraction levels. We also present in this paper a well-defined context and context-aware metamodels with the current elements in mobile environments.
