A typical pervasive application executes in a changing en- vironment : people, computing resources, software services and network connections come and go continuously. A robust pervasive application needs adapt to this changing context as long as there is an appropriate rewiring strategy that guarantees correct behavior. We combine the ME- RODE modeling methodology with the ReWiRe framework for creating interactive pervasive applications that can cope with changing environ- ments. The core of our approach is a consistent environment model, which is essen- tial to create (re)configurable context-aware pervasive applications. We aggregate different ontologies that provide the requi- red semantics to describe almost any target environment. We present a case study that shows a interactive pervasive application for media access that incorporates parental control on media content and can mi- grate between devices. The application builds upon models of the run- time environment represented as system states for dedicated rewiring strategies.
