Abstract
Context-awareness and adaptivity in web applications have been gaining momentum in web engineering over the last years, and it is nowadays recognized that, more than a mere technology aspect, they represent a first-class design concern. This acknowledgment has led to a revision of existing design methods and languages, finally resulting in runtime adaptation being considered a cross-cutting aspect throughout the whole development process. In this paper, we propose a radically new view on context-awareness and show how a well-done component-based development may allow the fast mashup of context-aware and adaptive web applications. The proposed approach comes with an intuitive graphical development environment, which will finally enable even end users themselves to mash up their adaptive applications.
