A history of client activities involving service usage in associated client contexts, is recorded in an activity database. Service templates are composed for associated client contexts based on the recorded history of client activities. When a context detector detects that the specific client context prevails, a service configurator selects a service template for the detected client context and configures a customised service from the selected service template. The customised service can then be offered to the at least one client. | 09-02-2010 |

The policy server makes policy decisions controlling, e.g., usage of a content cache by a user, based on a contextualized policy that includes one or more context-dependent policy rules. The context server collects context information for the user and generates the contextualized policy by inserting the updated context-parameter(s) into the context-dependent policy rule(s). The policy server thus obtains or otherwise updates the contextualized policy responsive to a policy decision request received from a caching agent operating as a policy enforcement point, and returns a policy decision to the caching agent. In support, the context server may be configured to collect context information for the user at least in part by receiving context information from a user agent associated with the user. | 05-12-2011 |
