This paper proposes the use of service-based
architectures as a way to bring the benefits of
ubiquitous computing solutions to real world
problems. We compare this services approach to the
traditional view of computer applications as user
tools, noticing that service providers can bring
significant economies of scale not only in monetary
terms but also in computational simplifications based
on multiple user data aggregation and large scale
data information processing and gathering. We argue
for such ubiquitous services by analyzing the evolution
of the World Wide Web in the last two decades and the
success of service providers such as Google, eBay,
and Mapquest in changing the way people live; and by
showing how a services approach can make feasible
many solutions to real problems such as urban
congestion, preventive health care, and global trade.
