DExaS: Delegated experience as a service for mobile and wearable devices
Rasib Hassan Khan, Ragib Hasan · 2017
Mobile devices and wearables are becoming more popular everyday. Such devices are equipped with advanced hardware and software capabilities. While delegation and remote delivery of services for mobile and wearable devices are not new, such services are limited to framework specific applications, and, without a defined incentive model for cooperative service delivery. In this paper, we propose the Delegated Experience as a Service (DExaS) model for mobile and wearable devices. DExaS delivers a service-oriented approach towards accessing services and features from smart mobile and wearable devices for capability and resource limited devices. Our model provides a detailed architecture and protocol level definition for provisioning delegated services. Moreover, DExaS incorporates capability based discovery of services, including a payment based incentive model for delegating users to participate in the given framework. We have also presented a prototype delegated phone application using the DExaS framework to illustrate the practical usage and feasibility of the proposed approach.
