OVERVIEW

Context information plays an increasingly important role in our  
information centric world. Software systems must adapt to changing  
contexts over time, and must change even while they are running.  
Unfortunately, mainstream programming languages and development  
environments do not support this kind of dynamic change very well,  
leading developers to implement complex designs to anticipate various  
dimensions of variability.

Context-oriented Programming (COP) directly supports variability  
depending on a wide range of dynamic attributes, making it possible to  
dispatch run-time behavior on any properties of the execution context.

By now, several researchers have started to work on Context-oriented  
Programming and related ideas, and first implementations ranging from  
first prototypes to mature platform extensions used in commercial  
deployments have illustrated how multi-dimensional dispatch can indeed  
be supported effectively to achieve expressive run-time variation in  
behavior.
