The IST project Simplicity intends to develop and evaluate a series of tools, techniques and architectures enabling users to customize and use devices and services with minimal effort. In this view, a key role is played by the user profile. The profile of a Simplicity user is stored in the so-called Simplicity Device (SD). In this framework, network operators might be able to exploit user data in SDs and enhanced capabilities of Simplicity-enabled mobile terminals to facilitate the control (e.g., load balancing) of heterogeneous access networks. This work presents an architecture and procedures to accomplish this automated process. The availability of a user-aware network control would significantly strengthen operators’ interest in having a Simplicity System.

Abstract
The IST project Simplicity intends to develop and evaluate a series of tools, techniques and architectures enabling users to customize and use devices and services with minimal effort. In this view, a key role is played by the user profile. The profile of a Simplicity user is stored in the so-called Simplicity Device (SD). In this framework, network operators might be able to exploit user data in SDs and enhanced capabilities of Simplicity-enabled mobile terminals to facilitate the control (e.g., load balancing) of heterogeneous access networks. This work presents an architecture and procedures to accomplish this automated process. The availability of a user-aware network control would significantly strengthen operators’ interest in having a Simplicity System.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
