The Situation Lens: Looking into Personal Service Composition

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 5232))

Abstract

In this paper we discuss about composing services from standard suites of applications for personal data management in mobile devices. We propose a data model and an interface model that allows users to navigate among services according to the situation evolution as perceived and interpreted by the users themselves. The interface model acts as a lens exploring the situation, zooming into the details, covering different areas of the personal data, supporting the user in the role of composer of personal services.
