Acting as a record-keeper, this agent tracks a user's context by acquiring information from external sources (e.g., the context brokers in different smart spaces). Acting as an information provider, this agent shares the updated context information about a user with systems that attempt to provide services to the user.

  <description><![CDATA[The XPod system, presented in this paper, aims
to integrate awareness of human activity and musical
preferences to produce an adaptive system
that plays the contextually correct music. The
XPod project introduces a “smart” music player
that learns its user’s preferences and activity, and
tailors its music selections accordingly. We are using
a BodyMedia device that has been shown to accurately
measure a user’s physiological state. The

This paper proposes a mobile MP3 player, XPod, which is able to automate the process of selecting the song best suited to the emotion and the current activity of the user. The XPod concept is based on the idea of automating much of the interaction between the music player and its user....]]></description>

It allows a large amount of implicit information to be conveyed with a small amount of explicit description. If the same kind of ability can be provided to software agents, then these agents, even with little built-in knowledge, can adjust their behaviors according to the available implicit information in the environment.
