Title:
Trust and Proximity aware Pervasive Service Discovery and Selection

Abstract:
In a world where people often move with an average of 2-3 personal 
networked devices (such as PDAs, portable music players and mobile 
phones), the concept of service provision can be extended to the ability 
to create ad hoc exchanges whenever in reach of someone with the right 
information or service. In these dynamic pervasive settings, however, 
the probability that an exchange will fail is rather high, for example, 
because the devices involved in the service provision may move away from 
each other before the service completes, or because the selected 
provider may not deliver the service as expected.
We present an approach to pervasive service discovery and selection 
based on past colocation, mobility prediction and reputation reasoning 
to try and decrease the amount of service failures.
