In the traditional computing paradigm, developers design software to run in a fixed and well-defined environment. The real environment, however, is too complicated to analyze all situations perfectly. Consequently, traditional software, which is implemented only for what is wanted as input, often fails badly in real environment. As a new approach, self-adaptive software can avoid runtime failures adapting to unpredictable situations. Self-adaptive software must firstly evaluate the contextual situation to determine the need for adaptation. Existing researches do not support the abstraction mechanism for identifying contextual problem. Consequently, they can have troubles with identifying the contextual problem as the execution environment is getting complex. In addition, they cannot support the expandability for contextual problems, which software can evaluate. This paper suggests the goal-based evaluation method of contextual situation for coping with the limitations of existing researches.

The scope of the problems that could be solved by monitoring and the improvement of the recognition time is directly correlated to the performance of the management function of the business process. However, the current event-managing monitoring system and the real-time advanced alarming business monitoring system decided whether to apply warnings or not by assuming a fixed environment and showing expressions based on the design rules. Therefore, there is a limit for distinguishing the range of occurrence and the level of severity in regard to the new external problems occurring in a complicated environment. Such problems cannot be abstracted. In this paper, evaluation model of business process contextual situations using goal scenario is suggested to provide constant services through the current monitoring process in regard to the service demands of the new scenario which occurs outside. The new demands based on the outside situation are analyzed according to the target scenario for the process activities. Also, a similar process model is found and identified by combining similarity and interrelationship. The process can be stopped in advance or adjusted to the wanted direction.

This study suggested the expansion strategies of school library catalog considering educational context which should be used teaching and learning process. To achieve the purpose of research, this study derived educational context categories by comparing and analyzing teaching and learning related factors, information resource related factors. Also, this study analysed case system considering educational context. Based on the results, this study designed the catalog data elements as an element to be added to an existing school libraries system(DLS). The derived data element is end user(teacher, students), instructional situations (teaching method, instructional object, curriculum, evaluation type), resource type(feature, discipline, format), reading situation(contextual reading, literature topic), related materials(teacher representation, student representation).
