Towards the Definition of a Context-Aware Exception Handling Mechanism

The development of dependable context-aware applications represents a major challenge to software engineers of contemporary systems. In this context, this position paper proposes the definition of a Context-Aware Exception Handling Mechanism to be incorporated into the Mid Sensor Net, a middleware of multi-tier services for Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) that provides a expressive and flexible mechanism to publish/subscribe events of interest, and reusable interfaces that employ web standard technologies to provide interoperability between services and applications.
