	abstract = {Advances in wireless communications and mobility have increased the use of smart mobile applications. As a result of the remarkable increase of mobile devices and the pervasive wireless networks, a large number of mobile users are requiring personalization services customized to their context. The mobile cloud-computing paradigm from a context-aware perspective aims to find effective ways to make cloud services aware of the context of their customers and applications. Another major challenge for context-aware cloud services is to exploit the benefits of cloud computing to manage transaction processing throughout the life cycle of a service. In this paper, we focused on the need of loosely coupled context-supporting components that work with a transaction-aware service infrastructure to adapt services to the context of the user and his mobile device. We propose a cloud-based middleware for transactional service adaptation (CM4TSA) by adding the {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}Adaptation as a Service{{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}} layer into basic cloud architecture, to perform the correct execution of transactional service according to the user context.},

	abstract = {In context-aware service-based environments, fulfilling user{\textquoteright}s recommendations bring about several challenges that are mainly due to the dynamic nature and limited underlying resources of these environments. In this paper, we mainly focus on the transactional aspects of context-aware services. To cope with the aforementioned issues, we opt for a middleware-based solution (MiCATS). We therefore present our novel approach for managing context-aware transactions which allows for adaptation to the requirements of applications and mobile context in terms of transactional properties. Then, we introduce our context-aware transactional service model (CATSM) and a context-aware architecture based on adaptation policies. The proposed contributions are implemented within a middleware platform.},

	abstract = {Several approaches adopted by the software engineering community rely on the principle of multi-modeling which allows to separate concerns and to model a system as a set of less complex sub-models. Model composition is a crucial activity in Model Driven Engineering (MDE). It is particularly useful when adopting a multi-modeling approach to analyze and design software systems. In previous work, we have defined a view-based UML profile called VUML. In this paper, we describe a formal approach for model composition in which we consider the composition as an algebraic operator on the set of UML-compliant models. We specify the semantics of our composition operator by means of graph transformations. Furthermore, we present a composition scheme interpreted by a two-steps composition process based on two strategies of correspondence and merging. To illustrate our approach, we apply it to the composition of UML class models diagrams into one VUML model class diagram.},

	abstract = {VUML is a view-based analysis/design method offering a formalism (UML profile) and a process to model software systems through objects and views. The main extension to UML is the multiview class whose goal is to store and deliver information according to the user{\textquoteright}s viewpoint. VUML supports the dynamic change of viewpoints and offers mechanisms to describe view dependencies. On the semantics side, the VUML meta-model extends the UML one with OCL rules. VUML proposes also a generic implementation pattern to generate the object code corresponding to a VUML class diagram. The proposed pattern uses delegation, handle technique and polymorphism. to implement views. In this paper, we present a model driven implementation of this pattern, which integrates the multi-user aspect and supports Java language. We propose a code generation technique that respects the pattern and uses the MDA approach. We specify transformations as a collection of rules implemented in ATL. The proposal is illustrated by a simple example.},
