Résumé : Engineering context-aware applications, i.e. applications that are able to adapt their behavior according to context information, is a complex task. Not only is context a large and complex notion, but its support on software applications involves tackling multiple challenges and issues. These challenges involve not only technical challenges, but also quality concerns. Indeed, with the growing development of context-aware applications, it is becoming essential to start considering the quality of context on every step of the application development. The goal of this paper is to provoke discussion on the issues related to the support of the notion of context and its quality concerns on software applications. We present here a roadmap on context management considering different dimensions of supporting context and quality of context (QoC) on software applications, and a literature review of solutions and issues related to these dimensions. Through these, we aim at sharing with non-expert designers the necessary expertise on context management allowing them to better understand the notion of context and QoC and their challenges.
