Future infrastructures must be able to configure themselves from the available components in order to be effective in the real world. It will be illustrated that a goal based approach is reasonable and how explicit goals can be used to find device spanning strategies that assist the user. An overall concept and architecture based on goal based interaction will be illustrated. Different concepts of cooperation strategies will be introduced and finally an evaluation will prove the validity of the approach.
