Abstract

A context-aware client system includes a web browser that sends a request to a remote web server to retrieve a web page from the remote web server. A context store stores context information of the client system. A transformation module is coupled to the web browser and the context store to add the context information into the web page before the web page is displayed by the web browser such that services specified in the context information and available to the client system can be readily invoked via the modified web page. A method of including context information of a client system into a web page shown by the client system is also described.
