Abstract
The disclosure provides a system, methods and a computer program product that facilitate management, distribution, licensing and provisioning of services. The disclosure includes a repository of one or more services wherein the repository can be populated or managed by one or more entities, organizations or individuals. The disclosure also includes a step of associating one or more services with context matching criteria, wherein the criteria can be matched against contextual information associated with environment/activity of a service consumption device and/or end user associated with the service consumption device. The disclosure also includes a step of delivering and/or enabling a subset of services from the repository on a service consumption device when contextual information of the service consumption device or an end user of the service consumption device matches the context matching criteria associated with the subset of services.
