A Push-Notification Service for Use in the UCWW

This paper proposes a push-notification service for use in the emerging ubiquitous consumer wireless world (UCWW). It follows the client/server design pattern and is developed based on the extensible messaging and presence protocol (XMPP). On the client side, a mobile application collects user behavior information and periodically sends it (over HTTP) to the UCWW cloud in order to identify the `best´ instance of a service that this user might be interested in. When such service instance is found, a corresponding notification is generated by the cloud and pushed (over XMPP) to a notification manager operating on the user´s mobile device. On the server side, a distributed platform is designed for `big data´ processing and services management. The provided solution is flexible and scalable, and could be easily integrated into the UCWW cloud for the always best connected and best served (ABC&S) paradigm realization.
