Abstract:
Personal mobility services are likely to be diverse
and sophisticated in nature. We introduce 'Cellware', an
architecture that automates the creation of personalized
mobile services. Cellware attempts to capture the diversity
of personal mobility services using a simple programmable
abstraction called a 'cell'. Cells are event-driven
middleware components that can be customized by scripts
to perform personalized communication functions, such as
call/session forwarding or event notification. Combining
cells results in the dynamic creation of more complex
personal mobility services. In this short paper, we provide
an overview of our architecture and discuss some simple
services that have been implemented using an initial
implementation of cellware.
