FutureWare is an Android library that offers for seamless development of mobile applications that rely on context prediction. FutureWare lifts the burden of mobile sensing, individual and group behaviour modelling, and future context querying, from an application developer. The middleware exposes a publish-subscribe interface that enables flexible asynchronous querying of future context, where the modality and the value of the context of interest, as well as the prediction horizon can be configured. The middleware is implemented in Android OS and it is tested extensively, both as standalone module and as a support for few sample applications. This library was developed as part of the PhD project at University of Birmingham.
