The IT domain has considerably evolved, users are now surrounded with cheaper and more powerful terminals than ever. Mobile and fixed devices connected to high-speed network technologies can bring out for the owners almost any services. But if the technology advances allow the user to enjoy his services more freely and conveniently, are the mobility mechanisms ready to offer a real seamless experience? The answer is obviously "no", so in 2007 we introduced the distributed Service Manager, a system which purpose is to assure the mobility and the continuity of user's services. The main challenges was to conceive a model totally independent from the device, the application, or the type of service. We defined a new architecture addressing these issues and proposed an innovative vision of the "service" concept. Finally we implemented a prototype, now operational, for demonstrating the high potential of our approach
