Personal service on application level active network for ubiquitous computing environments

This paper describes the Self-adaptive Personal Service (SPS) on the extended Application Level Active Network (ALAN) for ubiquitous computing environments. It is expected that a customized service personalization in a ubiquitous computing environment can be deployed. However, the existing service personalization does not support location information, Quality of Service (QoS) policy, device type, etc., since a user's preference depends on the origin of the web servers. To address this issue, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard called Framework for Service Personalization (FSP) on Open Pluggable Edge network Service(OPES) is underway. Nevertheless, FSP on OPES does not accommodate the ubiquitous computing environments because OPES does not consider self-adaptation. As a result, existing networks have the inability to support additional services. Therefore, this paper suggests the use of Generic Modeling Environment (GME) tool as Service Creation Environment (SCE). By using a GME tool, the SPS on the extended ALAN can support self-adaptation with functions such as a user's changing constraints, a decision-making, and a service composition.
