Abstract
Query Responsive Awareness Software (QRAS) is proposed in this paper as a run-time software representable model that incorporates semantic attributes into the software. Specifically QRAS: (a) provides for the representation of properties of the software and its application environment, (b) is compatible for distributed systems and in particular, smart collaborative object systems, and (c) provides human and/or automated query and query-responsiveness. QRAS is based on the Geometric Representation of Programs (GRP) model. A case study based on a simplified inventory control system together with a simulation of various queries concludes a feasibility study of the proposed approach.
