Dynamic service management technique for various context information

Abstract

With the emergence of ubiquitous era, it has become increasingly important for context-aware computing which takes full advantage of proactive services to support user environment. Many kinds of studies on context-aware services for supporting user-centric services have been performed. Recently related researches are concentrated on only service acquisition. Therefore most studies of them have not designed to provide a dynamic service while it has focused on executing services. In this paper, we present dynamic service management technique for various context-information. Firstly, we analyze previous researches out supporting context-aware services and draw its requirements from the dynamic context-aware services. Secondly, we propose DSM which provides dynamic situation considering context-domain's management and both service add and delete. We introduce service implementation based on the user interesting area in smart spaces. Finally, our approach is illustrated as a manifestation of the benefits of the introduced technique.
