On the other hand, users are adopting on-line applications and services more and more, both for personal and business purposes, in order to get in touch with other people and to manage documents, pictures, and many other types of artifacts in a ubiquitous environment that does not impose the usage of a specific end-user device. The naturally arising question is thus the following: if these projects, activities, and collaboration teams are developed all around, why do we need to deal with large numbers of separate services, each one operating in a separate representation of reality, instead of performing tasks in a unified environment integrating such different services automatically? This chapter discusses this aspect of current user collaboration and presents an infrastructure for the development of user-centered clouds of services that enable the user to interact with her favorite applications from a unified environment managing her workspaces and collaborations. The management of such collaborative service clouds is enabled |
