SEKE 2010 – new results from the collaboration between INES Context Group and UEM

The collaboration between the INES Context Group and the Universidade Estadual do Maringá (UEM) brings new results with the acceptance of the paper entitled “A Context Conceptual Model for a Distributed Software Development Environment” in the 22nd International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE’2010), which occurs in July 1-3, 2010, San Francisco, USA.

The paper describes a  conceptual  model  focused on contextual information for DiSEN, a distributed software engineering  environment.  Main  contributions  found  on  the paper  are:  (i)  the  identification  of  a  set  of  information  that composes environment entities context ; and (ii) the definition of a model that facilitates domain semantics comprehension, reducing communication gaps.”

This paper is a result of the Master Thesis in Computer Science of Ana Paula Chaves, advised by Prof. Elisa Huzita, at UEM. This work uses the context framework for designing context-sensitive systems, proposed by Prof. Vaninha Vieira (UFBA), during her PhD work (UFPE). This work reinforces the research collaboration between UEM, UFBA and the UTFPR in the area of context-sensitive systems for the domain of Distributed Software Development.

The INES Context Group is related to the project “Models, Processes and Tools for the Development of Context-Sensitive Systems”, in portuguese “Modelos, Processos e Ferramentas para o Desenvolvimento de Sistemas Sensíveis ao Contexto”.
