Developing a Pervasive System for a Mobile Environment

Abstract

The problem of personalised context aware service selection and composition is an important research area that is addressed within the pervasive service platform being developed by the Daidalos project. This paper briefly outlines the scenarios used and the overall platform architecture that underpin this development. It then describes the approach used to select service components and compose them to produce a composite service that satisfies an individual user’s needs and takes account of changing context. It also discusses the interaction between personalisation and context management,. These ideas have been extensively tested and demonstrated with the scenarios. In the second phase of Daidalos, the developments will be generalised and subjected to wider testing.
