Towards Ubiquitous Services Design and Development Approach

Today’s evolution of mobile technologies, telecommunication infrastructures and service oriented paradigm is leading to the development of ubiquitous services. Ubiquitous services are software applications that have the capability to run anytime, anywhere and on any device with minimal or no user attention. However, the advancements and diversity in technologies, the dynamic and ubiquitous nature of these services increase the complexity of the underlying development process. In this paper, we propose a design approach for developing service oriented ubiquitous systems considering both business and ubiquitous requirements. The approach is applied to a crisis management case study.
