Abstract
Many diverse end point devices require high levels of interoperability to effectively manage services and applications. This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive framework for classifying services and offers a building-block approach that uses service as a basic unit for end-point interactions and collaboration. This paper presents a layered architecture of service classification that can be leveraged for facile and an effective adoption of new services and the orchestration of existing services. Today, a vast variety of services and agents exist in the market place and new ones are constantly created at a faster pace than ever. Initiated earlier, the move to a common open service platform for service collaboration conforming to standards like Open Service Gateway initiative (OSGi), Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA DM) etc., expands the capabilities and service delivery for service providers and device manufacturers. Common end point device platform management functions include, but are not limited to, service collaboration, configuration, and inventory and software management services. A common service platform will make the services on the device interoperable with a broader range of applications, services, and transport and network technologies. Solutions available today use a single service for data connectivity, transport service mechanism, etc and therefore, by means of this tight coupling, risk limiting the service provider capabilities. Choosing to support multiple technologies enables service providers to support more types of services on device. However, the complexities arising from adoption of interoperability require taxonomy of services for effective service collaboration with existing services.
