In this paper, we try to suggest a candidate personalization service architecture for future mobile services. We tried to design the framework and to find the required software modules for a mobile personalization service, which is related with context-aware processing and user-preference information. And, we are implementing and testing the prototype system, and finding better soultion to depl...

This article presents a framework which enables end users to create small, sharply focused mobile services directly on a mobile device. By this, end users are no longer only consumers of mobile services; they also become producers and providers of mobile services. The domain of mobile health and fitness applications has been chosen to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach. The article pre...

Telecommunication networks and the Internet are growing together. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) services which are originally offered by network providers, like telephony and messaging, are provided through VoIP and Instant Messaging (IM) by Internet service providers, too. The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is the answer of the telecommunication industry to this trend and aims at providing Internet P2P an...

We describe collaboration models in Web services, and how to achieve universal access in the heterogeneous devices including conventional desktop PCs and mobile devices. We discuss how a rich synchronous and asynchronous collaboration environment can support virtual communications built on top of Web service infrastructure based on industry standard portal technologies, such as XML, Apache proj...

Through a broad survey of potential and existing users of mobile commerce, we attempt to address these issues. Our aim is to identify key drivers of use and potential patterns of adoption, and to develop a descriptive context of the technology’s future. Research has shown that adoption of an innovation is a function of the alignment between the innovation’s capabilities and market needs. A usef...

The mobile (wireless) service market has been rapidly growing along with the development of a variety of wireless applications and services and the increasing number of mobile Internet users. In this rapidly changing market environment, understanding users’ satisfaction with mobile Internet service, the dimensions of service quality, and their intentions to use current service is important to b...

The next generation of Internet applications is emerging: Web services. In this work, we present novel techniques for a flexible and reliable execution and deployment of Web services which can be integrated into current service platforms. Dynamic service selection allows selecting Web service instances during runtime by means of semantic classifications. The selection can be influenced by speci...

Highly mobile people (HMPs), such as international executives, airline crew, international sportspersons and independent travellers require flexible, reactive service delivery due to their regularly changing location and activities and the lack of a wired network connection. A mobile service delivery system should be able to detect relevant events such as change of location, sales opportunities...

Web service composition is one of the challenging issues that have been studiedover the past years. It consists of combining existing web services to best suit new user requirements. This paper suggests an UML profile to compose web services based on their behavioral aspects. The Web Service Description Language (WSDL) files are first transformed to Unified Modeling Language (UML) models; then ...

This paper proposes a framework for which agents can be used for providing web services to mobile users. It describes a set of obliging agents distributed over different sites that work together to provide web services for mobile users. Mobile agents are programs dispatched from a client mobile device to the server to achieve a task. This is much more dynamic than client-server paradigm in whic...
