This paper presents a method for automatically annotating files created on portable devices with contextual metadata. We achieve this through the combination of two system components. One is a context dissemination mechanism which allows devices in a personal area network (PAN) to maintain a shared aggregate contextual perception. The other is a storage management system that uses such context information to automatically decorate files created on personal devices with annotations. As a result, the user is able to flexibly browse and lookup files that were generated on the move, based on the contextual situation at the time of their creation. What is equally important is that the user is relieved from the cumbersome task of having to manually provide annotations in an explicit fashion. This is especially valuable when generating files on the move, using U/I-restricted portable devices.
