Incorporating Context into Web Services Discovery and Composition Process

Abstract

Nowadays, with the development of Internet of Things and cloud computing technologies, people's daily life becomes more intelligent than ever before. As one of the most important constitute part, context aware computing technology has attracted more attentions and play an important role in providing intelligent and suitable services for users. In this paper, we will introduce a context aware service provision method for the smart campus (iCampus) environment. First, we will present a conceptual space based context modeling method. Then we will analyze a smart campus scenario and show how to use this formal model to represent a smart campus scenario. Third, we will show how to discover and compose services from three different levels, i.e. Contextual level, functional level and non-functional level. Finally, we will use an example to verify our method and give solutions.
