Context-aware services are gaining momentum in mobile computing. To enable rapid development of context-aware services,context information has to be retrieved from the environment, modeled,processed, and distributed to these services. MIDAS is a European research project concerning 3G and beyond, which aims to dene and implement a platform to simplify and speed up the task of developing and deploying mobile applications and services. MIDAS context engine provides mechanisms to retrieve, model, synthesize, and distribute context information in a distributed, mobile environment. This paper presents a way to retrieve and distribute context information using context queries and triggers. A novel approach to perform context synthesis will be presented using operators.
