We describe a platform for context-aware computing which Typically, a context-aware application needs to know the enables applications to follow mobile users as they move location of users and equipment, and the capabilities of the around a building. The platform is particularly suitable for equipment and networking infrastructure. In this paper we richly equipped, networked environments. The only item a describe a platform that uses sensors and telemetry software user is required to carry is a small sensor tag, which identi- to collect environmental data, and presents that data in a form fies them to the system and locates them accurately in three suitable for context-aware applications.
