N2 - This paper describes a context aware mobile application which helps the user with his daily commitments. The application senses the user's current context and provides him with suitable information. The system is a mobile application which simulates a user companion aiming to inform him and remind him with his daily duties at the right time and location, and taking into account his personal profile. The application is a client-server architecture which deals with both the mobile environment and the user's context. In this paper we focus on a specific user, the Muslim Companion, for which we have implemented a set of services. The Muslim Companion works like an advisor; it provides guidance and teaching and reminds any Muslim about his daily tasks. Our system has been developed to i) sense the context including the mobile device's environment, the user profile and the calendar's related events; ii) process the suitable services to be required and the information to be displayed; iii) display the information in a user-friendly manner on the user's mobile device. The system is portable and can operate on many platforms and a variety of mobile devices.
