IPMSA: integrated personal mobility services architecture

Forthcoming network computing systems are expected to provide a wide variety of services to personal mobility users anywhere anytime in the world. Personal mobility services require an advanced architecture that integrates support protocols, mechanisms and special functionality for the dynamic reconfiguration of applications and services available in new environments when users change from one terminal to another. This paper introduces an architecture, integrated personal mobility services architecture (IPMSA), that enhances personal mobility by providing access to integrated structured and unstructured services wherever they are available in a seamless manner.
