Abstract

This paper introduces personal mobile Web services, a new user-centric architecture that enables service-oriented interactions among mobile devices that are controlled via user-specified authorization policies. Personal mobile Web services exploit the user´s contact list (ranging from phonebook to social lists) in order to publish and discover Web services while placing users in full control of their own personal data and privacy. We present a proof-of-concept implementation of an example personal mobile Web service to demonstrate the usefulness and feasibility of the concept.
