Personalised Workplace • Example: Log in anywhere • Automatically activate all collocated devices (e.g. telephone) and resources. • Up-date own presence. • Redirect incoming calls from mobile set to fixed line. • Redirect Instant Messaging from PDA to PC. CDA CDA: Collocated Device Authentication

Context as Service Enabler • Interactive communication environmments • Situation specific context – a practical example • Service components and challenges for research
Service components for context based communication • Unique user identity across domains, devices and apps • Groups multiple devices and applications to • co-located devices • managed as one logical multi-apps device • single authenticaton • Seamless session mobility between co-located devices across domains in a user friendly way (by simply lifting the handset) • Presence aggregation/instantaneous update/activity observation • Calling Cards used for presence, preference and click to dial (implementation based on Web Services, SIP)
Principles of a “rich presence” architecture IMing In the office Idle Customers On the phone y Be right back s Outsiders Bu Aggregated Presence My Group My Boss statefuluser activityfilter Devices/ applications • Aggregation • Presentation of presence information in a meaningful way • Presence sources can be a group of devices and applications • User control via Preferences and Filtering • Different groups see aggregated presence in different ways • dynamic adaptation of presence according to the user’s communication activity • Rich Presence provisioning to legacy devices Filtering / Preferences Aggregation Group specificfilter policy Presence Sources
More Context: Personal Assistants ? A practical view: who will administer all this intelligence? • Always and and everywhere at your disposal: Elvis, the personal assistant. • “Elvis, pls. show me the construction drawing of this system!” • “Elvis, what type of valve is this?” • “Elvis, show me the way to the switching centre!” • A multi modal concept (“AAAA”). AAAA: Anything, Anytime, Anywhere, Anyhow
Challenges for research • Rising complexity: make it self organising and easy to handle for end user. Enabling technologies: • “zero configuration” technologies in combination with semantic classification • Published domain models with the ability to grow in a community development (like open source software) • Security issues: loss of privacy, but also malicious software and attacks against distributed service infrastructure • Collaborative work: information and production tools become accessible to everyone. Collaborative work needs new role models, tools and value chains.
