Design Principles for Future Service Platforms

Abstract

The vision of pervasive computing and communication will shape the individual life in the future. Following this vision, the goal for new business sectors will be to provide an easy way of creating and deploying different kind of service environments. This paper introduces briefly 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 that are fully compatible to each other. The concepts presented in this paper have been developed by the Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF) Working Group 2 (WG2) and are under permanent discussion in this forum.
