Abstract

Pervasive Service Computing for Elderly applies service composition and pervasive computing into assisting elderly Activities of Daily Life. Taking advantages of context-awareness and service-oriented computing, Pervasive Service Computing expects to bring brilliant opportunities for pursuing global successful ageing. This paper proposes a Pervasive Service Computing for Elderly (PSC4E) framework for improving Quality of Life of elderly people, through providing being-, becoming-, and belonging-based services in context of population ageing trends, an elderly service provisioning model, and related studies.
