Abstract
Service applications are provided on multiple types of devices with different execution contexts. A smart card stores the application description, and processes it to install an adapted configuration of the application for whatever device it is inserted in. Smart cards are compatible with many devices, as well as being small, resistant, and tamper-proof. In addition to security features, their processing capacities can be used to at least partially treat the abstract descriptions of the applications in order to produce concrete descriptions adapted to the execution context.
