Today, people often go around with different personal portable or wearable computing devices. They can interact wirelessly with static and mobile sensors gradually integrated in the surrounding environments that provide them with various context information characterizing their current situation. Therefore, context-based spontaneous services help applications provide users with the most relevant information without users specific intervention. This paper illustrates the interest of such services in mobile and ubiquitous environments through several examples in which nearby heterogeneous mobile devices and sensors communicate in an autonomous fashion. Their proof of concept prototypes have shown the benefits of our previously proposed middleware for context management.
