Abstract
In this paper a framework is presented which allows the discovery and execution of services on connected and partially autonomous mobile devices. Discovery and execution procedures are sensitive to the user’s context (current location, personal preferences, current network situation etc.). We present a description language for service offers which is used to provide the necessary information for a service registry running on the mobile device itself. Services are executed in an abstract manner (in the sense of a non-specific implementation) from the user’s point of view, getting an optimal result with respect to the current context out of a set of parallel invoked service implementations.
