Abstract: The paper continue the analysis (made in Part1) of an emergent field of the information and communications technologies (ICT), the context-aware communications and information technology (CACIT). Important results of the analysis include the identification of the main CACIT development purposes/applications as expansions/ additions for human senses (including vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch and sensation of temperature, gravity, acceleration , magnetic/electric field, approach of environment objects), health (vital signs, health parameters, mood, schedule, habitus etc.) or social relations (available relations/persons, group activity, communication etc.). Results refer also to the most important and dynamic fields for IS/KBS, where CACIT applications will continue to be extended with the exponential pace of ICT, will include available interesting applications context (hot spots, emergency, health, commercial, financial, entertainment etc.). The paper also presents CACIT main evolution steps, starting from the early human context-aware communications based on the five senses and ends to the most complex applications where the borders between CACIT and ICT are blurring, as the added information they collect from environment (context) dramatically improves this way the force (efficiency) and the development potential of the original CIT resource. The main conclusion reveals the improvement of humankind perception by the smart behaviour in any nature context or activity, enabling adaptation, intelligence and efficiency, but, on the other hand, shows that CACIT has a huge potential to improve intrinsic ICT applications, as communications or computing-aware systems.
