Context awareness is increasingly forming one of the key strategies for delivering effective information services in mobile contexts. The limited screen displays of many mobile devices mean that content must be carefully selected to match the user’s needs and expectations, and context provides one powerful means of performing such tailoring. Context aware mobile systems will almost certainly become ubiquitous – already in the United Kingdom affordable ‘smartphones’ include GPS location support. With this hardware comes the opportunity for ‘onboard’ applications to use location data to provide new services – until recently such systems could only be created with complex and expensive components. Furthermore, the current ‘mode’ of the phone (e.g. silent, meeting, outdoors), contents of the built-in calendar, etc. can all used to provide a rich context for the user’s immediate environment.
