Abstract

Mobile service provisioning is concerned with enabling handheld devices, such as phones and PDAs, to host services. This naturally raises significant challenges that stem from mobile devices´ inherent mobility and limited resources. Furthermore, mobile services tend to operate in dynamic, insecure and heterogeneous operating environments. The aim of our research is to develop a novel toolkit for constructing mobile services that addresses such challenges. In getting started, we have taken a middleware-based approach that mediates interaction between clients and mobile services. This work offers a foundation upon which we intend to build using techniques that fall within the domain of automated software engineering.
