ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the achievements of the research and its contributions to knowledge, discusses GoCoMo's trade-offs, and highlights potential areas for future work. It argues that requests for complex functionality in a smart public space can be supported by the composition of services from a number of mobile devices located in the vicinity of the requester. The research presented in this book has investigated a novel model for software service provision in mobile and pervasive computing environments. In particular, the research has focused on providing solutions to the challenges of composing services from multiple mobile devices, which behave in a decentralised fashion and adapt to network changes. The prototype case study deployed GoCoMo App in a testbed composed by a set of real mobile devices, measured its performance on each individual devices, and demonstrated that GoCoMo can flexibly compose a number of diverse functionalities deployed in diverse Android-based mobile devices to support a user's request.
