Abstract
The proliferation of devices endowed with an extensive variety of sensors, continuous connection to social networks, and a significant computing power has opened up countless new visionary applications: the context, meant as all data influencing the behaviour of the user and the application, plays a key role in modern life. However, defining an adequate framework to model and manipulate this context is still an open issue. In this paper, we propose a Context Aware Programming Environment (CAPE) to tackle this problem and present an agent-based architecture implementing it. Also, we discuss a practical application of our approach in the domain of emergency management.
