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.
