1. A method for predictive computer network service provisioning comprising:
- obtaining personal schedule information of a user located in a first geographic location and made available on a network,providing a service session, including functional modules and relevant data particular to the user, that exists autonomously on the network and independently from a home base service provider of the user,providing access to the service session to a plurality of different types of service providers through a service layer which exists on top of an infrastructure of the network such that the service session is switchable among the service providers for assembly on demand at a network neighborhood that the user is in,providing a user identity of the user that is accessible on demand to the service providers in the service session regardless of respective geographic locations of the service providers and the user, the user identity including a unique identifier of the user, a unique identifier of a primary service provider of the user, an individual encryption key of the user and a container of pointers indicating where the relevant data particular to the user resides,predicting a future attribute of the user from the personal schedule information, the predicted future attribute including a future second geographic location of the user, andproviding a service to the user prior to the user arriving at the second geographic location using the predicted future attribute in combination with publicly available information on the internet.

Abstract
A predictive network service provisioning method uses personal schedule information of a user [120] to predict the geographic/network location of the user, the operational context of a user, and/or the computation and communication needs of a user. These predicted user attributes may be used to reduce network latency by prepositioning user data [122] at a location [126] closer to the user, allocating services and/or resources for the user at the predicted location, and/or providing the user with access to the prepositioned personal data files [138] and services when requested by the user.
