However, building context-aware applications is difficult due to the lack of adequate infrastructure support. In this paper, a web middleware architecture for the development of context-awareness applications using near field communication （NFC） is proposed. Based on it, the efficient support for acquiring, interpreting, and accessing context is provided, and the user＇s quality of experience is improved. Moreover, a mobile web middleware for the testing and full realization of NFC context-awareness applications has been developed together with two application examples.展开更多
