A Service Framework for Smart Mobility Scenarios

In Smart Mobility scenarios, users depend on reliable and timely provision with travel-related information. The application of service-oriented concepts for bringing this information to the end user is a promising approach. Nevertheless, there has been surprisingly little work on service frameworks which explicitly take into account specific demands of Smart Mobility. Within this paper, a software framework aiming at service consumption in Smart Mobility scenarios is presented. The framework features specific functionalities for such scenarios, taking into account both functional and non-functional requirements. This includes the means to push information from services to the end user, data prefetching mechanisms, and support of context-based adaptation. The applicability of the framework is demonstrated through representative use case scenarios.
