There is growing interest in the use of context-awareness as a technique for developing pervasive computing applications that are flexible, adaptable, and capable of acting autonomously on behalf of users. However, context-awareness introduces a variety of software engineering challenges. This paper addresses these challenges by proposing a set of conceptual models designed to support the software engineering process, including context modelling techniques, a preference model for representing context-dependent requirements, and two programming models. The paper also presents a software infrastructure and software engineering process that can be used in conjunction with the models. Finally, the paper discusses a case study that demonstrates the strengths of the models and software engineering approach with respect to a set of software quality metrics.
