A visual framework for deploying and managing context‐aware services

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present a component framework for building visual interfaces for pervasive computing systems.

Design/methodology/approach

The proposed framework enables end‐users to build visual interfaces for their systems by using document‐editing manner.

Findings

The building and operating visual interfaces are useful for managing pervasive computing systems.

Research limitations/implications

The framework is designed based on Java but programming language‐independent version is needed.

Practical implications

A component framework was implemented for building visual interfaces for pervasive computing.

Originality/value

A framework for visual interfaces for pervasive computing is unique.
