During BENEVOL 2015, Kim Mens (UCL), Nicolas Cardozo (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland), Bruno Dumas and Anthony Cleve (UNamur, Belgium) will present their scientific paper "Breaking Down the Walls: A Unified Vision on Context-Oriented Software Engineering”.
In this article 
, Mr Mens, Cardozo, Dumas and Cleve present the need for a unified vision on context-oriented software engineering, that reconciles different research areas in computer science, including programming languages, human-computer interaction, and database technology.
They identify three dimensions wherein proposed solutions for achieving context orientation could benefit from cross-fertilisation and integration.
They present a conceptual and implementation framework that allows for a characterisation of context-oriented systems regardless of these dimensions, serving as a vehicle to discuss some of the challenges involved in reconciling the different dimensions and how to tackle them.
The 14th edition of the BElgian-NEtherlands software eVOLution seminar (BENEVOL 2015) will be held in Lille, France, on 3-4 December 2015.
