This thesis deals with the implementation of a framework to build context-sensitive wearable computing applications that enables a rapid-prototyping approach during development. Special technical demands for such a framework in an industrial setting are worked out and an abstraction for modelling information in the environment is introduced. An existing framework for context-aware applications in a pervasive computing environment is examined where problems arise when transferring it to the wearable computing domain. This motivates a specialized approach customized to the conditions in an industrial environment. As a last point an evaluation of the framework by its use in the development of a wearable computing solution is performed leading to a final assessment of its value
