Title: An Application Framework for a Situation-aware System Support for Smart Spaces

Abstract. Despite a considerable research eort towards system support
for smart spaces, in recent years we have been witnessing a growing
perception about a persistent gap between the promises of the area and
its real achievements. We are investigating a situation-aware system support
for smart spaces that builds on a new set of assumptions and design
principles, based on user-controlled associations between global services
and local resources. The realisation of this concept raises important challenges
across a model for global autonomous applications that enables
them to integrate the functionality and resources of multiple situations.
This research work aims at investigating such a model and evaluating
the concept of situation-aware system support for smart spaces.
