Mobile Context Framework

The progressive spreading of wireless networks and increasingly powerful mobile computers creates a big potential for a wide spectrum of innovative applications. Context-aware applications adapt the circumstances of the user`s current situation which enables new and intelligent user interfaces.

Nevertheless, the sheer diversity of exploitable contexts and the plethora of sensing technologies are actually working against the deployment of context-aware systems.

A framework for context retrieval should enable the development of context-aware applications without considering details of context acquisition and context management. Moreover, exchange and reusability of context information should be allowed between applications and users.

The open source and free Mobile Context Framework tries to solve the described issues. Mobile Context Framework consists of three components:
· The Mobile Context Server
· The Mobile Context iPhone Library (this project)
· The Mobile Context iPhone Demo App
