An Integrated context-aware Planning Approach to Self-Adaptation Web Service Composition

Web services are rapidly gaining acceptance as a fundamental technology in the web field. They are becoming the cutting edge of communication between the different applications all over the web. With the need for the ubiquitous computing and the pervasive use of mobile devices, the context-aware web service composition becomes a hot topic. This latter aims to adapt the web service composition behavior to the user's context such as his specific work environment, language, type of Internet connection, devices and preferences. The adaptation of previous works was carried out only at the runtime and partially covered the user's general context. In this paper, we introduce a new context-aware approach that provides a dynamic adaptation of web service composition. Our approach enables us to express requirements by taking into account the potential user's context in addition to the functional one.
