ABSTRACT
The objective of the work is to propose an emergency management system architecture with work flows for activating the needed services by processing the request calls with a context aware approach to enhance the performance and correctness of the system. The integration of heterogeneous communication networks and context aware computing technologies plays an important role in the highly dynamic environment to achieve the best performance of such a software intensive system. The system architecture is considered as a set of containers for the functionalities of an emergency call processes for the management and the interaction among them is the main focus to bring the performance attributes of such systems. Attribute Driven Design (ADD) process is employed to keep the attributes of all the technologies along with context-awareness. The service processes and the activities in the work flow are considered to analyse the performance indicators of every sub processes. Emergency management involves Event management, Time management and Resource management techniques which can produce effective performance due to integration of technologies with adaptiveness and context awareness.

Recommendations
Threshold-based context analysis approach for ubiquitous systems
In ubiquitous computing environments, applications must be able to respond to dynamic context changes in order to provide suitable services to users. A promising solution consists of developing context aware applications. In this paper, we present an ...
A survey on context-aware systems
Context-aware systems offer entirely new opportunities for application developers and for end users by gathering context data and adapting systems behaviour accordingly. Especially in combination with mobile devices, these mechanisms are of high value ...
Context aware service provisioning in mobile grid
In mobile grid, it is necessary to maintain end users' needs while addressing issues such as rapid, unpredictable changes of highly mobile contexts in which wireless mobile devices operate. Context-aware mobile grid services that exploit information ...
