This paper proposes the usage of a software framework, based on the Smart Box 
application model, for the development of applications or appliances of the 
Smart Box application domain. This class of ubiquitous computing applications 
can be described as automatic content monitoring applications using Auto-ID 
technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). The Smart Box 
application model is based on the concepts of location and object to represent 
a kind of a box and the items and persons that are related to the box. States 
defined through conditions abstract from the content of the box and limit 
notification of the application to exceptional cases. Implementing the model 
and framework we could show that the model is adequate to describe the Smart 
Box application domain and that the framework decreases the development effort 
of Smart Box applications.
