Abstract
This paper presents a context-aware system
that uses Machine-to-Machine communication to retrieve
sensor data collected by an Android operating system
smartphone. It uses the eXtensible Messaging and Presence
Protocol for communication with a remote server where data
are stored, while both ends are implemented in the Open
Service Gateway initiative framework providing system
modularity and portability. Although our system is designed
as a generic system that can be easily applicable for various
monitoring purposes or on-event reactions, its functional-
ity has been evaluated by implementing an environment-
variables monitoring application used in industrial sectors.
The case study presented in this paper elaborates a context-
aware application in terms of monitoring and alarming
functions. In our case study Android devices are used
for communication purposes and monitoring environment
parameters in order to track context data and react to it.
