CAwbWeb: Towards a Standardized Programming Framework to Enable a Context-Aware Web

This paper presents a vision of mobile-cloud computing systems which looks beyond simply moving data processing from mobile to cloud computing systems and considers a larger vision in which services within the cloud are aggregated and automatically integrated in real-time, based on context, to satisfy the intentions of mobile computing applications. The authors suggest that research and development of context-aware mobile-cloud systems adopt an appropriate "Separation of concerns" in which application intentions, context, action, and actuation are isolated through a framework of software services and standards they call CAwbWeb (Context-Aware Web). These software services and standards allow for many different mobile-cloud computing problems to be abstracted and solved generally.
