Abstract	In recent years, new business and research opportunities have in-creasingly emerged in the field of large-scale pervasive platforms (e.g., building management systems, pervasive health-care, envi-ronmental monitoring). These platforms are characterized by the need to monitor and control a large number of heterogeneous envi-ronments with significantly different capabilities and utilize many distributed context sources and actions. Hence, they require ad-ditional support in terms of programming models and abstractions that can assist with the development of context-aware applications as generic and reusable components. Previous research studies in context-aware systems have proposed many different programming models, but none of them are enough to support the development of truly reusable applications. In this paper, we introduce the Entity-Adaptation programming model as a novel approach for the development of context-aware applications. The benefit of the Entity-Adaptation model is that it decouples context-aware applications from the underlying physical environments and allows them to be implemented as generic and reusable components. We additionally present the design and im-plementation of the CAPA framework, which provides support for deployment and execution of context-aware applications developed with the Entity-Adaptation programming model. Finally, we eval-uate the solution using a case study that demonstrates effectiveness of the approach in a real-world scenario.
