Context aware systems have been the subject of research for many years. However, mobile enterprise systems have unique needs as compared to general purpose context aware systems, or enterprise context aware systems. This paper defines what context awareness means from a mobile enterprise perspective, analyzes these unique needs, and discusses the essential characteristics that any successful context aware mobile enterprise system should have. It develops an evaluation framework for measuring suitability of context aware framework approaches to mobile enterprises. The paper surveys existing art in the area of context aware systems, and evaluates each using the developed framework. It also discusses the gaps in currently available technologies and solutions, from the point of mobile enterprises, and identifies possible future research directions in this field to address these gaps. The paper also proposes a conceptual model for enabling context awareness in mobile enterprise applications.
