Abstract
The cognitively impaired population is very sensitive to issues of abstraction, which presents the application designer with the challenge of tailoring navigational information to each specific user and context. COCA-middleware anticipating the users needs and the context environment. The self-adaptive application reduces the cognitive load and increases the user’s ability to realize the desired route. COCA-middleware is performing the adaptation processes including context monitoring and detecting and dynamic decision making; and maintaining the architecture quality attributes during the adaptation.
