Stefan Arbanowski, FOKUS Wolfgang Kellerer, DoCoMo Euro-Labs WWRF13, Jeju, Korea, Feb. 2-3, 2005 WWRF Briefing WG2-br1 WWRF Working Group 2 Activities STRATEGIC VISION on future research directions in the wireless field page 2 WWRF Briefing WG2-br1 Kellerer/Arbanowski 03/2005 WWRF13, Korea WG2 Vision A wireless world, incorporating 3G systems and beyond, offering end- users I-centric services implemented on top of fully cooperating, easily deployed, compatible and secure Service Execution Environments operated by all authorised parties involved in the value network. page 3 WWRF Briefing WG2-br1 Kellerer/Arbanowski 03/2005 WWRF13, Korea WG2 SCOPE Following the I-centric view, the white papers provided by Working Group 2 explain in detail what future service architectures have to provide and how such service architectures can be established. To come up with a complete picture, WG2 starts to analyze future service architectures from high level user requirements breaking that down to already available technologies and needed research activities. WG2 focuses on the following clusters of research: -Open Service Architecture -Service Capabilities -New Service Building Blocks -Content Analysis and Management -New concepts for I-centric Communications -Mobile Service Platforms (incl. terminal aspects) -Service requirements to the underlying Communication Subsystems page 4 WWRF Briefing WG2-br1 Kellerer/Arbanowski 03/2005 WWRF13, Korea WG2 Overall plan I-Centric Communications -Personalization, Ambient awareness, Adaptation -adaptable to each individual communication space -adaptable to the environment -intelligence in the system -integrating service enablers to control and manage the individual communication space Current state -5 whitepapers available wg2.ww-rf.org (members only) -Next steps -Further identification of Wireless World building blocks VISION Ref Model Arch page 5 WWRF Briefing WG2-br1 Kellerer/Arbanowski 03/2005 WWRF13, Korea Service Platform Personalization Ambient Awareness Adaptation Ubiquity Consistency Self-Actualisation Safety Belonging Control Privacy Human Capability Augmentation Values Capabilities Values & Capabilities WG2 WG1 page 6 WWRF Briefing WG2-br1 Kellerer/Arbanowski 03/2005 WWRF13, Korea Human Communication Space & Underlying Artefacts People News Place ???
