System concept and Service Architecture in pervasive environments based on WWRF Requirements

Abstract

The vision of pervasive computing and communication is likely to have a major impact on our lives. The WWRF (Wireless World Research Forum) has summarized this vision by the statement: "7 trillion wireless devices serving 7 billion people by 2017". Following this vision, the goal for new business sectors will be to provide an easy way of creating and deploying different kinds of service environments. This paper introduces the overall system vision with an emphasis on the requirements on and the problem of overall architectures for service execution environments and identifies an architectural approach, the requirements and design guidelines to built service execution environments and related platforms. A special focus will be given on the subjects of context awareness and personalization.
