A framework for providing context-aware services is presented. Context-aware services tends to depend on context but software for defining the services should be independent on context so that it can be reused in other contexts. However, software for many context-aware services in existing approaches has been constructed in an ad-hoc manner. The approach, called Spatial Connector, enables software for context-aware services to be defined independently of any contextual information so that it

It enables non-context-aware services to be used as context-aware services by deploying services according to contextual changes and transforming such changes into non-context-aware functions, so that software for context-aware services to be defined independently on any contextual information. Our early experiments proved that it enabled us to reuse JavaBeans components as context-aware services without having to modify the components themselves. RELATED WORK Since the term context-aware computing was introduced by Schilit and Theimer (Schilit and Theimer, 1994) , context-aware computing received a lot of attention from researchers.
