Architecture of a Personal Network Service Layer

We describe a basic service architecture that extends the currently dominant device-oriented approach of Personal Networks (PNs). It specifies functionality for runtime selection and execution of appropriate service components available in the PN, resulting in a highly dynamic, personalized, and context-aware provisioning of PN services to the user. The architectural model clearly connects the responsibilities of the various business roles with the individual properties (resources) of the PN Entities involved.
