MUSE
A Mobile Java Service Provisioning Solution
In future communication networks modern nomadics will expect a large variety of value-added services typically from many independent services providers. Our focus of research is service provisioning considering user preferences and context such as location, terminal and network capabilites.

The Mobile User Service Environment (MUSE) is a Service Provisioning Environment particulary focusing on intelligent service mediation. It features a mobile environment that can be personalized with dynamically combinable services. MUSE supports the user in discovering services and granting access to these services from his mobile terminal. Service downloadability, customized service discovery as well as terminal capability demands are major characteristics featured in MUSE. Since services are only limited by technical characteristics of terminals and/or networks, any kind of service including multimedia services can be negotiated by MUSE.

MUSE (Mobile User Service Environment) provides mobile users with three main features:
  • access to their personal set of services over any network, with any device
  • easy service access, and dynamic service composition, and context-sensitive guidance through chains of services.
  • flexible integration of arbitrary 3rd party services into a common Service Environment.
