We introduce the concept of reactive information environments and a general infrastructure for experimentation with such systems. Its asynchronous state-based processing model is described along with the architectural requirements and main components of our infrastructure. These include a general context engine coupled together with a web publishing platform. An application for a public news service is used to motivate the requirements, explain the processing model and show how an application is implemented using the platform.
