This paper describes the Context Awareness Framework developed for the HYDRA Middleware Project. The HYDRA project aims to develop middleware to support intelligent networked embedded system based on a service-oriented architecture, deployable on both new and existing networks of distributed wireless and wired devices. A well developed Context Awareness Framework (CAF) is crucial for the success of such intelligent networked systems. Changing requirements and dynamic environments are drivers for context-aware applications. The automatic execution of system adaptations leads to a successful and effective information and communication system that provides information and functionality that is relevant and at the right level of complexity with respect to the current situation. This paper elaborates on the various issues involved in the design and development of a Context Awareness Framework for an intelligent networked embedded system.
