Intelligent objects and devices are becoming part of the environment where people live. The more pervasive the Internet of Things and Services becomes, the greater opportunity users potentially have to customize the computing activities that take place around them. For some people the availability of devices and services offers possibilities for tailoring things to exactly what they want. For others, however, this represents a problem: how to manage the complexity? It is neither practical nor economical to use professional software developers for individual tailoring. Why not increase the possibilities and diminish the problems by providing users with good tools? Bringing service composition and tailoring to ordinary people has the clear advantage of putting users in control of their personal life.

Based on our experience in model-oriented engineering, service-oriented architectures (SOA), and mobile and ubiquitous computing, we have newly started research in the area of end-user service composition. UbiCompForAll is our first project in that area. We plan to increase our activity either through national or European collaboration. We foresee that end-user service composition will be relevant for several application domains, e.g. ambient assisted living (AAL), social networking, eLearning, tourism or tailored marketing.
