Embedding context-aware self-adaptation mechanisms in pervasive systems is key
to improve their acceptance by the users. These mechanisms involve a precise
denition of the software structures that enable adding, removing or replacing
components of the system to perform the adaptations. Typically the denition of
these mechanisms is a complex and time consuming task. This paper presents a
model-driven engineering approach to generate these context-aware
self-adaptation mechanisms. The use of models transformations to dene these
mechanisms helps to reduce the complexity and eort required to dene them. In
order to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed approach, this paper reports
its application to the development of a context-aware notication service.
