Dynamic service adaptation

Change can be observed in our environment and in the technology we build. While changes in the environment happen continuously and implicitly, our technology has to be kept in sync with the changing world around it. Although for some of the changes we can prepare, for most of them we cannot. This is especially true for next generation mobile communication systems that are expected to support the creation of a ubiquitous society where virtually everything is connected and made available within an organic information network. Resources frequently join or leave the network, new types of media or new combinations of existing ones are used to interact and cooperate, and services are tailored to preferences and needs of individual customers to better meet their needs. We outline our research in the area of dynamic service adaptation to provide concepts and technologies allowing for such environments.
