The ability to also make accurate assumptions about future contexts further enables such systems to proactively adapt to upcoming situations. However, the provision of a reusable system component to facilitate the development of such future-context-aware applications is still challenging - as it requires to be generic but, at the same time, as efficient and accurate as possible. To address these requirements, this paper presents the approach of Structured Context Prediction which constitutes a framework to facilitate the application of existing prediction methods. It allows application developers to integrate domain-specific knowledge by creating a customized prediction model at design time and to select, implement and combine prediction methods for the intended purpose. Feasibility is evaluated by applying a prototype system component to two mobile application scenarios, showing that both high accuracy and efficiency are possible. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01061629/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01061629/file/mmszwl_dais2010_1_.pdf %L hal-01061629 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01061629 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-LNCS-6115 %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-WG6-1 %~ IFIP-DAIS %~ IFIP-DISCOTEC %~ IFIP-2010
