A Cloud Platform to support User-Provided Mobile Services

The rapid evolution of mobile computing, together with the spread of social networks is increasingly moving the role of users from information and services consumers to actual producers. Currently, since most of the critical aspects related to user generated contents have been addressed, the main issues related to service generation represent the next challenge. Dealing with services, aspects like ease of creation, discovery, security and management should always be taken into account. To cope with this kind of problems, we propose the webinos platform, which is based on a cloud architecture and enables user devices to share features and services among them.
