Details and Objectives

OBJECTIVES:

The Service Architecture for the Wireless World Working Group (WG2) is a working group within the Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF) to gather inputs and views from industry and academia, to synthesise these views, to influence future visions and research priorities, and to share results across the forum. The WG2 focuses on the user as the driving force in future communication systems. Based on a ubiquitously connected world, WG2 investigates how the user can be provided by future systems with an user-centric service environment. The services addressed by WG2 are settled on top of an all-IP environment, addressing the fulfilment of any user demand.

FURTHER DETAILS:

WG2 focuses on the following clusters of research:

• Open Service Architecture for I-centric Communications
  • Open interfaces
  • Stakeholder role models
  • Third party providers
  • Service federation

• Capabilities for I-centric mobile services
  • Ambient-Awareness
  • Personalization
  • Service Adaptation

• Business Models

• Service Building Blocks (OSA / Parlay / IMS transition towards Wireless World)
  • Service modelling, applying sematic web technologies
  • Service creation
  • Service discovery
  • Service composition
  • Service management

• Enabling technologies and standards
  • Mobile Service Platforms (incl. terminal aspects)
  • Service requirements to the underlying Communication Subsystems
