Fast and Efficient Context-Aware Services gives a thorough
explanation of the state-of-the-art in Context-Aware-Services
(CAS). The authors describe all major terms and components of CAS,
defining context and discussing the requirements of context-aware
applications and their use in 3rd generation services. The text
covers the service creation problem as well as the network
technology alternatives to support these services and discusses
active and programmable networks in detail. It gives an insight
into the practical approach followed in the CONTEXT project,
supplying concrete guidelines for building successful context-aware
services.
Fast and Efficient Context-Aware Services:
* Provides comprehensive and in-depth information on state-of-the-art CAS technology.
* Proposes a system architecture for CAS creation and delivery, discussing service management and active network layers.
* Describes the service lifecycle functional architecture, covering service authoring, customization, invocation, and assurance.
* Explains system design considerations and details, system evaluation criteria, test-bed requirements, and evaluation results.
Fast and Efficient Context-Aware Services is an invaluable resource for telecommunications developers, researchers in academia and industry, advanced students in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, telecoms operators, as well as telecommunication management and operator personnel.
