Abstract
This paper considers implementation of ContextWare architecture proposed for context dissemination and aggregation for Ambient Networks. ContextWare is a model for context processing dealing with sources of context localization and identification, acquiring context data from various sources, and its distribution to interested context consumers. Implementation requirements of this highly dynamic system with Jini has been proposed, evaluated and compared to other approach based on DHT. The extension of ContextWare with ontological description of context information has been also described. The presented concepts have been illustrated by the case study.
