Context-Aware Pervasive Service Composition

Abstract

Incorporating service composition and pervasive computing into managing user’s complex everyday activities envisions the paradigm of Pervasive Service Composition for everyday life. Context-Aware Pervasive Service Composition (CAPSC) enables a pervasive system to provide a user with service compositions that are relevant to the user’s context. Moreover, CAPSC enables composition applications that are flexible and adaptive to changes. To identify the nature of CAPSC and approach it, this paper investigates CAPSC requirements, categorizes context-aware pervasive service compositions, and designs CAPSC architecture. Terminology is given to Context-Aware Pervasive Service Composition and a design process for building CAPSC application is investigated. An analysis is given for examining the requirements of CAPSC architecture. CAPSC architecture is designed by taking into account context aware peer coordination, context-aware process service adaptation, and context-aware utility service adaptation.
