ABSTRACT
Future mobile systems are expected to offer users
flexible access to information and services using a
combination of different end-user devices in a Personal
Distributed Environment (PDE). With PDEs able to
operate over multiple air interfaces and heterogeneous
networks, requiring seamless and rapid service
provision, a flexible and fair trading of communication
services is required. For this reason, a Digital
Marketplace (DMP) is proposed. The DMP is based on
an agent framework capable of enabling real-time
service negotiation over disparate networks according
to users' price and QoS requirements. This paper
discusses the security threats and challenges to the PDE,
and also to a DMP implementation.
