Abstract

The progress in wireless network technologies and mobile devices changes the way in which people can access digital services. A user may access the same services as she would use her desktop computer, but in the nomadic environment she is able to do so anywhere, at any time and even using a variety of different kinds of devices. Such an environment places new challenges on the architecture implementing the services.
