Abstract

In this paper, we present a mobile infrastructure for cooperating information services. This infrastructure is demonstrated through the example of a Tourist Information Provider (TIP) system. TIP delivers context-sensitive information from a variety of services to the user. The underlying communication is event-based to support continually changing information.We demonstrate two examples of the use of context-sensitive services in TIP: first, the presentation of sight information using a Zoomable Map service which links into a detailed information service; second, the exploitation of contextual information to deliver targeted recommendations to the user. Through these examples, we demonstrate the requirements for mobile multi-service systems that support flexible cooperating services.
