Abstract
Context-aware systems offer entirely new opportunities for application
developers and for end users by gathering context data and adapting
systems' behavior accordingly. Especially in combination with mobile
devices such mechanisms are of great value and claim to increase
usability tremendously. In this paper, we present a layered architectural
framework for context-aware systems. Based on our suggested framework
for analysis, we introduce various existing context-aware systems
focusing on context-aware middleware and frameworks, which ease the
development of context-aware applications. We discuss various approaches
and analyze important aspects in context-aware computing on the basis
of the presented systems.
