Abstract :
This paper presents a novel service, which is aiming at assisting the end-user in the management of his electronic devices. Nowadays the user is confronted with several different communications devices as, for example, a plain-old telephone, a mobile telephone, a cordless telephone, and a PC or a workstation which acts as a multimedia terminal. All these devices are autonomous and function independently of each other and without any coordination. In fact they are even not aware of the presence of other devices. As the owner the user is required to handle them all and does not always succeed since as a human being he cannot perform many tasks at the same time. This paper describes in detail the functions of the Device Management Service (DMS) with use cases. Each use case is examined carefully with several implementation alternatives. The technologies required for each alternative are also identified
