The Services and Service Architectures Working Group (WG2) is a working group within the WWRF. The working groups exist to gather inputs and views from industry and academia, to synthesise these views, to influence future visions and research priorities, and to share results across the forum. 

Working Group 2 has worked in the area of service architectures and service platforms for future wireless systems.Currently WG2 concentrates on the aspects arising from the different notions of services starting from the definition itself, tackling service semantics and service creation up to needed architectures and building-blocks to setup service provisioning platforms for the future communication systems.

Working groups produce both white papers and briefings on important issues inside and between research areas of each working group. WWRF WG2 Interim meeting arranged at Lappeenranta, Finland concentrates on ongoing efforts on User Profiling white paper and new initiative towards broadcasting industry.

The  interim meeting is organized by ComLab, the Communications software Laboratory of the department of Information Technology, Lappeenranta University of Technology. The meeting will take place in Lappeenranta, Finland on August 18, 2008 and is arranged just before our international Minema summer school and workshop. These events will highlight the latest research and developments in the middleware and architectures for mobile computing and communication environments.
