An Architecture Proposal for User-Generated Mobile Services

Abstract

This paper presents an architecture proposal for mobile services. It covers server-side and terminal-side components for the easy creation, provision and consumption of mobile services. The intrinsic characteristics of mobile services are reflected in this approach. Especially the role of the power user, that not only consumes mobile services but also modifies them or creates services of his own, is in the focus of this design. The paper concludes with a proof-of-concept that has been carried out in a European research project.
