Ubiquitous computing requires new paradigms to assist users organizing and performing daily tasks. Supporting autonomy and providing secured execution environments are two among a lot of challenging issues. Next generation smart cards, so-called smart devices, are regarded as personal devices providing a secured execution and storage environment for application tasks and sensitive privacy information, respectively. Hardware evolution of smart devices enables them to provide capacity to host personal agents, implemented as mobile agents. Mobile agents perform essential tasks such as service negotiation in order to enable automated dynamic service delivery. This paper presents our middleware and a service delivery pattern for user-centric service provisioning by applying mobile agents to smart devices. We further discuss how the middleware platform can be integrated with a security framework for a federation of mobile agents, where a smart device is used as a central trusted entity.
