Abstract

Context-aware systems keep on emerging in all of our daily activities. To cope with this new situation, programming languages were extended to support the notion of context. Although context-oriented programming languages exist for over 15 years, they were tested for their suitability in developing context-aware systems only to a limited extent. In this paper, we propose a framework for analyzing context-oriented languages from that viewpoint. In this framework, we refer to context definition and activation, reasoning capabilities, process aspects of how to work with the suggested extension, and pragmatic considerations. To demonstrate the use of the framework, we applied it to a relatively new context-oriented programming paradigm, namely context-oriented behavioral programming. The proposed framework can support users of context-oriented programming languages in deciding on the most fitted language for their purpose. Developers of context-oriented programming languages can also use the framework to improve such languages and their supporting tools.

建立一个分析面向上下文的编程语言的框架

上下文感知系统不断出现在我们的日常活动中。为了应对这种新情况，编程语言被扩展为支持上下文的概念。尽管面向上下文的编程语言已经存在了超过15年，但它们在开发上下文感知系统方面的适用性仅在有限的范围内进行了测试。在本文中，我们提出了一个从这个角度分析面向上下文语言的框架。在这个框架中，我们提到上下文定义和激活、推理能力、如何使用建议扩展的流程方面，以及实用考虑。为了演示该框架的使用，我们将其应用于一个相对较新的面向上下文的编程范例，即面向上下文的行为编程。所提出的框架可以支持面向上下文编程语言的用户决定最适合其目的的语言。面向上下文编程语言的开发人员也可以使用该框架来改进这些语言及其支持工具。
