Towards an Intuitive Interface for Tailored Service Compositions

Abstract. Novel modes of interaction and tailored application delivery are a key challenge in ubiquitous computing. This paper proposes a method of adaptively delivering lightweight, disposable service compositions to a user in a smart space. The user intuitively requests these services through a single, environment interface, which infers goals through observing behaviour and context, and manages the configuration and interaction of the devices within the space. The composition is driven by generating tasks from these inferences, which can be resolved down to candidate services. We will discuss the proposed interaction between these components and highlight what direction our research will take.
