LOMS - Local Mobile Services Creating Smart Services Everywhere Preparation for EU-TSOA Meeting, Madrid, June 25-26, 2008

slide 2 LOMS Executive Summary Statements Problem area: Easy service creation by non-technical service providers (e.g. SMEs) Methodology researched and realised: Layered/staged service creation through service templates created by intermediate roles in service ecosystem Target environment: SOA or SDP architectures/platforms, potentially leveraging IMS and existing web services Target customers: –parties operating a service platform –businesses/developers potentially creating sets of service templates –service providers addressing specific end user niches Application domains: many – examples selected in project: –media sector (B2C services) –machine maintenance sector (B2B services) Enabling services leveraged for service “smartness”: –context-awareness (location, presence, user profiles, …) –(context-aware) charging –user (identity) management –other

slide 3 LOMS Problem Statement Before LOMS: Service Creation Dilemma LEVERAGE infrastructure: “Long Tail” service portfolio Safe exposure of network- based enabling services LEVERAGE infrastructure: “Long Tail” service portfolio Safe exposure of network- based enabling services “Local” businesses INHIBITED:  Know “local” demands, but: No technical know-how No (e-)Sales Channels “Local” businesses INHIBITED:  Know “local” demands, but: No technical know-how No (e-)Sales Channels DEMAND good services: Variety Convenience Ad-hoc use Benchmark = plain Internet ! DEMAND good services: Variety Convenience Ad-hoc use Benchmark = plain Internet ! ? Easy Creation: How ??

slide 4 LOMS Project Objectives Easily Creating Smart Services Everywhere Innovation Objectives New value chain and business models New architectural paradigm: –Expose Enabling Services to Platform Operators –Layered service creation and deployment –Domain-specific template instantiations Demonstrate for different Application Domains: –Easy & fast creation –Enhanced enablers for service smartness New way market development (methodological guidelines) Make a difference in the Real World !Make a difference in the Real World ! LOMS: New Intermediary Roles CAN OFFER smarter services, launch them easier, via more channels (hidden technical complexity)
