However, such systems constrained resources in terms of autonomy, network bandwidth or storage capacity, mobile devices (mobile phones, PDA...) have highly impacted traditional data and services management techniques. Therefore, these techniques are evolving and leading to new data and services management systems that consider variable user capabilities and context characteristics. The next generation of such systems in mobile environments will have to provide different levels of availability. In addition, they will have to be adaptive, scalable, robust and efficient for developing numerous original services and systems.
