%X Context-aware computing is about gathering user information and their environment such as user location and
preferences, service status, and nearby devices. Such context information is used to adjust enviroment settings to suit user
needs and preferences. As environments can change rapidly, applications must be aware of it and adapt their behaviour in
real time. We describe an application that introduces intelligent agents in smart homes to provide location-aware services
and interfaces. This application must keep an eye on some context information to carry out user preferences. Our
approach is based on a contextual ontology that is a key component to enable context sharing and representation.
