Abstract

In the near future, providers of mobile services will face increasing competition. Therefore, the ability to design, develop and deploy reliable context-aware services fast and easily will come essential. We introduce an agent-based Serviceware Framework assisting service providers in developing innovative services, thus reducing the time-to-market of the respective applications. Within the BerlinTainment project, we have utilized different modules of the framework to develop prototypical application services in the entertainment domain providing personalized, location aware, and device independent information.
