Context-awareness is a key ingredient in any ubiquitous and pervasive system and provides intelligence to the system, allowing computing devices make appropriate and timely decisions on behalf of users. Context-awareness in mobile computing refers to internal and external adaptation of the environment and applications to the context state of each other. Such systems should adapt to the changes and variations of user's context such as location, device status, connectivity and etc. In this paper we present our perspective of a context-aware service platform which is based on the idea of utilizing network information as services that is delivered via application programming interfaces and propose a fuzzy MADM method and a context similarity measure. We take into account the quality of contextual information in aggregating contextual information from different sources.
