Software in Ubiquitous Computing is faced with a dynamic
and heterogeneous environment. For tapping the environment's
full potential, software must be able to adapt dynamically
and react to the environment in a platform- and
language-independent manner. However, developing mobile
and adaptive applications is a complex and error-prone task.
In this work, SAMProc, a new middleware should be designed
that supports developers in creating ubiquitous applications.
Therefore, we introduce the novel concept of self-adaptive
mobile processes, which allows an abstract high-level specification
of an application's lifecycle and its distribution aspects.
In the SAMProc system, an application should dynamically migrate
with an adaptation of its interface, state and implementation
at runtime, while transparently and permanently
remaining addressable. The SAMProc middleware should use an
MDA-like approach, in which the developer creates a self-adaptive
mobile process description. Then, a middleware tool should automatically
map these descriptions to a mobile infrastructure,
i.e., either self-adaptive migratable CORBA objects or Web
services. The developer should be able to focus on application logic; the tool
generates migration and adaptation code.
The feasibility of the approach should be demonstrated by example applications, for instance, by an application in which
mobile reporters publish data in a basic workflow. Further applications should complete the work.
