heal.abstract	As technology develops, people are using an ever broader and heterogeneous range of ICT devices and network-based services. The result is an enormous burden of complexity on the shoulders of users, service providers and network operators. The goal of the Simplicity project, supported by the European Union, is to reduce this complexity by: i) providing automatic customization of user access to services and the network; ii) automatically adapting services to terminal characteristics and user preferences; iii) orchestrating network capabilities. The Simplicity approach is based on a personalization device, the so-called Simplicity device, which, together with a brokerage framework, offers transparent service configuration and runtime adaptation, according to user preferences and computing/networking context conditions. This paper presents the Simplicity project, briefly discusses its architecture and introduces the Simplicity demonstrator: a proof of concept implementation used to verify our approach, through diverse usage scenarios. In addition, we introduce the main aspects of a follow-up project of Simplicity, named SMS. © 2006 IEEE.	en
