Invited Talk: Solutions for a Service Architecture in Pervasive Environments Based on WWRF WG2 Requirements

The vision of pervasive computing and communication is likely to have a major impact on our lives. The WWRF (Wireless World Research Forum) has summarized this vision by the statement: "7 trillion wireless devices serving 7 billion people by 2017". Following this vision, the goal for new business sectors will be to provide an easy way of creating and deploying different kinds of service environments. This paper introduces the requirements on and the problem of overall architectures for service execution environments and identifies an architectural approach, the requirements and design guidelines to built service execution environments and related platforms. The concepts presented in this paper have partly been developed by the Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF) Working Group 2 (WG2) and are under ongoing discussion.
