Abstract:
During the last years, 3G standardization activities led to new directions both in the network and the service provision architecture. As a result, new concepts of service portability have been defined, as well as new topics related to security issues. Taking into account such an input, we moved to promote the development of a new generation of user-friendly and personalized information services for citizens as well as students and bank customers, accessible any-time, any-where, with any technology. In order to realize a personalized and trusted secure access to information services, we propose here a service brokering architecture. Based on Java and XML, the system implements user profiling techniques to tailor contents in a way that is independent of the specific device (fixed or mobile) used to get access. Such a new approach should carry to a fruitful user-friendliness and security in service managing, enabling the user to access services in an intuitive, trusted and personalized
way, both in terms of service portfolio and user interface.
