Mobile prosumer environments require the communication with heterogeneous devices
during the execution of mobile services. These environments integrate sensors, actuators …

Abstract The vision of Ubiquitous Computing presents special requirements in mobile
prosumer environments. Users have the possibility to create and provide their own services …

Adaptability is one of the challenges of today's mobile distributed systems. In this paper, we
identify the issues relative to adaptability in a service provisioning context. We introduce an …

Pervasive user mobility, wireless connectivity and the widespread diffusion of portable
devices raise new challenges for ubiquitous service provisioning. An emerging architecture …

User/terminal mobility during service provisioning and high heterogeneity of wireless
portable devices identify novel challenges for service delivery in ubiquitous pervasive …

Currently, mobile environments are gaining importance, and new promising paradigms, like
Mobile Cloud, are arising. However, these environments pose new challenges and are …

One of the main obstacles to the adoption of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) outside the
research community is the lack of high level mechanisms to easily program them. This …

The lack of support and the shortcomings of Cloud computing in relation to pervasive
applications can be addressed through the Sensing and Actuation as a Service (SAaaS) …

In this paper a framework is presented which allows the discovery and execution of services
on connected and partially autonomous mobile devices. Discovery and execution …

We envisage tomorrow's services to become increasingly pervasive, being deployed within
buildings, transport systems, markets, as well as people portable devices. Such services will …
