The vision of Daidalos is of a world in which:
· Mobile users can enjoy a diverse range of personalized services - seamlessly supported by the underlying technology and transparently provided through a pervasive interface
· Mobility has been fully established through open, scalable and seamless integration of a complementary range of heterogeneous network technologies.
· Network and service operators are able to develop new business activities and provide profitable services in such an integrated mobile world.
Within this nascent environment, Daidalos has been working on the design, and prototyping of the necessary infrastructure and components for efficient distribution of services over diverse network technologies. As part of this task, complementary network technologies were integrated, and a signalling system for communication and management support in these networks was developed.
The objectives and design of Daidalos is based around what are known as the five key concepts. These are as follows :
· MARQS (Mobility Management, AAA [Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting], Resource Management, QoS and Security), supporting functional integration for end-to-end services across heterogeneous technologies.
· VID (Virtual Identity), which separates the user from a device, thereby enables flexibility as well as privacy and personalization.
· USP (Ubiquitous and Seamless Pervasiveness), enabling pervasiveness across personal and embedded devices, and allowing adaptation to changing contexts, movement and user requests.
· SIB (Seamless Integration of Broadcast), which integrates broadcast at both the technology level, such as DVB-S/T-H, and at the services level, such TV, carousels and datacast.
· Federation, which will allows network operators and service providers to offer and receive services, allowing players to enter and leave the field in a dynamic business environment.
The main governing architecture for the system has been specified and many of the required interfaces have been developed and integrated across multiple domains.
A set of architectural documents has been prepared to outline the proposed architecture of Daidalos II. TSSG has been responsible for one of these D421, and has made significant contributions to several others.
A set of core stories/scenarios are currently being documented. These scenarios will provide a means to demonstrate and validate the key technology decisions and innovations within the project.
A Service Ontology in OWL-S is currently in preparation. This will provide a template for prospective Daidalos enabled services to extend and comply with, as well as facilitating the realisation of technologies such as Service Discovery and Composition as detailed below.
Hardware and software solutions have been developed and integrated in order to demonstrate and Daidalos architecture. Public events, and commission audits, are used as a means to disseminate and demonstrate Daidalos results to date: www.ist-daidalos.org -> Events
TSSG has numerous roles within the Daidalos II project. In terms of technology R&D the areas of most relevance to TSSG within Daidalos are:
o Development of Pervasive Services Environment, taking into account:
§ Service Discovery
§ Service Composition
§ Data Modeling
§ Context Management
§ Tools, Methodologies and 3rd Party Perspectives
o Provision of testing expertise for the project
Othe Daidalos II areas where TSSG plays a role include:
o Work Package 4 Leadership
o Activity 4.2 Leadership
o Marketing and Dissemination Leadership
o Technical Management Team Membership
o Reviewing of Deliverables
