Abstract :
`Smart´ becomes a buzzword in many sectors of the society. Among them, Smart Service is an emerging paradigm for delivering services with `smartness´ features. A key ingredient of smart services is various types of contexts including mobile and social contexts. With the advent of sensor technology and availability in mobile devices, contexts become a key source of information from which situations can be inferred. And, situation-specific services have a high potential of being smart services. However, a number of fundamental technical issues remain unresolved, especially in the area of software framework for developing and deploying smart services. In this paper, we present a software framework for context-aware smart life services, Smart Service Framework (SSF). We begin by defining smart services with key characteristics, and define our architectural design of the SSF. We also define a process for provisioning smart services. And, we specify guidelines and algorithms needed for carrying out the four activities in the process.
