The arrival of ubiquitous computing and the increasing use of mobile devices can geta lot of information about the user. This information is used by some applications to adapt its functionality to the user itself and the surrounding environment. In this way the applications need to become more autonomous and less each time user interaction. However, the computational cost, battery consumption and the complex process of obtaining useful information from sensory data means that many applications do not use this information in a massive way. This research proposes a framework and a middleware for the development, implementation and communication of contextual applications. Using this architecture allows communication between applications so that they can share applications without contextual information should both generate. Thanks to definition of a SOA platform,subscription to services provided by other applications is possible through the middleware.
