Pervasiveness in a competitive multi-operator environment: the Daidalos project

This paper briefly describes the EU-funded Daidalos project, that designs and develops an operator-driven communications infrastructure to enable personalized, context-aware composite services to mobile users. Fundamental design concepts rely on the seamless integration of broadcast; federated operators creating a pervasive environment; virtual identifiers; and integrated mobility, security, QoS and resource management. The project validates concepts by means of specification, implementation and integration in a large research testbed.
