Abstract

The possibilities that can be achieved by context information, especially the location of mobile users, might lead to the attractive new mobile services technologies like UMTS desperately look for in order to foster the user demand for 3G networks. The EU IST research project "YOUNGSTER" is developing a mobile services platform that will employ a context subsystem that is able to handle (i.e. gather, process, store, and deploy) not only location information, but the whole variety of user context information in a generic way. In this article, the requirements of a mobile services platform for a context system and the design of this context subsystem are described.
