PLASMA: personalized, location aware services over mobile architectures

In this paper, we describe a platform that aims to provide a service framework that can be deployed over mobile devices (smart phones, PDAs, PocketPCs) offering personalized, context aware (with emphasis on location awareness) services. The services, instead of being offered in the traditional way, are based on an open architecture, which allows the user to design, test, deploy and share service modules. The framework allows for personalized deployment of services that can be customized as regards the level of privacy of personal information and accuracy of offered data.
