This paper presents an end-to-end framework to manage user-centric services through daily events. In contrast to existing service discovery, selection and composition approaches, the proposed framework addresses the management issue from a new perspective by firstly learning end-user's intent through daily events, while recommending relevant functionalities to the user; and then enabling the user to select the services offering the required functionalities based on their own selection rules. An event hierarchy and a selection model are proposed respectively to retrieve relevant functional requirements and specify the service selection rules in response to the user's non-functional requirements. The context-oriented system framework for functionality discovery, user-centric service selection and intuitive service composition, is also presented in detail. Finally, an event based service selection and integration system is introduced as a proof-of-concept of the proposed approach
