In this report we present an architectural approach to add quality-of-service (QoS) assurance and location awareness to service
based systems within existing clinical infrastructures. To address typical design requirements of such systems (e.g., cooperating
services, performance and availability) the work proposes a service-oriented architecture as architectural concept and architectural
translucency to provide stable QoS. We evaluate position sensing systems, QoS assurance approaches and present design principles
for service-based health care applications. Furthermore, we present a clinical application scenario and an architectural approach
to integrate existing infrastructure into a human centric assistance system.
