A Serviceware Framework for Designing Ambient Services

  • Conference paper
Developing Ambient Intelligence

Abstract

This paper describes a serviceware framework for the creation of context-aware ambient services. Different communication standards can be found today, that are delivered through a multitude of devices. We propose to have them wrapped by a service execution engine which unifies access and service provision across different service domains. The framework provides basic building blocks for added security, multi-modal interaction, management, and comes with tools and a methodology.
