UbiSys is a framework for end-user service composition consisting of tools for end-users and domain environment developers. Among the tools in the framework are the the UbiCompPro editor for domain environment developers, the UbiComposer composition editor for the end-user, and the UbiCompRun runtime environment for the composed services.

• UbiCompPro, a tool for ICT professionals allowing the description of building blocks for end-user composition in a specific application domain. Using this tool, properties of the building blocks and visual elements such as icon and the names are defined. UbiCompPro is realised as an Eclipse-based tool.
• UbiComposer, a composition tool for non-ICT professionals. Using the tools, the user can select among the set of building blocks defined using UbiComPro and combine them into user-defined tasks that teh user decides when should be triggered. UbiComposer has been developed both in an Android version and in a web based version.
• UbiCompRun, a runtime system for executing the services composed by the end users. The runtime system interprets the composition models created using UbiComposer to control service execution.

For end-users As an end-user using Android, you will experience the UbiComposer and UbiCompRun as an editor and composition runtime support embedded within your Android App. A web-based version of the UbiComp editor can be used from web-based applications. Check out the City Explorer App with its composition support Service composition using the Android UbiComposer The web version of the tool can be seen here.

For developers Developers can use the UbiSys framework to develop applications with embedded composition support.
