Context awareness is a very large research domain, encompassing many issues ranging from physical measurement of a given situation to the question of social acceptance. It appears as one of the most promising technologies to evolve current communication services into fluid, flexible, automagic, intuitive communication means. We review in this article the various applications of context awareness to convergent interpersonal communication services, making clear the evolutionary potential introduced by these techniques, from the classical digital phone network to truly smart services, many of which remain to be invented.
