applications automatically adapt to the user’s context. Context-aware applications rely on a shared
service, the Contextual Information Service, to obtain context information. In this paper we describe
our experience in implementing four very different applications using the CIS and in porting the
applications to a different environment. One of the services also integrates technologies developed by
a sister project that focuses on using the Semantic Web to support context awareness and privacy.
