Model-driven development for user-centric well-being support from dynamic well-being domain models to context-aware applications

Applications that can use information obtained through device sensors to alter their behavior are called context-aware. Design and development of such applications is currently done by modeling the application's context or by using novel requirements engineering methods. If the application is to support the user's well-being, these methods fall short due to their technical focus. We propose a model-driven approach that deals with the specifics of the well-being domain by using a DSL that captures the user's personal well-being context. The development method is user-centric, rather than technology focused. Initial user experiments show promising results.
