TLDR
Major service capabilities such as personalization, ambient awareness, and adaptability are described along with a reference model focusing in I-centric communication, which is a service infrastructure framework for the future wireless world.Abstract:
The acceptance of next-generation mobile communication systems depends to a large extent on the services and applications that can be offered to customers. Tailoring the services to actual user needs is considered to be crucial for the success of future wireless technology. The individual user, "I", has to be put in the center of service provisioning. In this article, we report the work developed by the Working Group 2 of the Wireless World Research Forum on a service infrastructure framework for the future wireless world. Major service capabilities such as personalization, ambient awareness, and adaptability are described along with a reference model focusing in I-centric communication.read more

Semantic-based discovery to support mobile context-aware service access
TL;DR: A middleware-level approach to support user-centric semantic service discovery, called AIDAS, exploits context-awareness based on user/device/service profile metadata to provide personalized views on services of interest, and supports semantic-based matchmaking between requested and offered service capabilities.

A conceptual framework and a toolkit for supporting the rapid prototyping of context-aware applications
TL;DR: A conceptual framework is presented that separates the acquisition and representation of context from the delivery and reaction to context by a context-aware application, and a toolkit is built that instantiates this conceptual framework and supports the rapid development of a rich space of context- aware applications.
