The Dynamic Web Services Adaptation Framework in Context-Aware Mobile Cloud Learning using Semantic-Based Method

Most of Service-Based Applications (SBAs) have to be changed after their first deployment not solely due to the changing system requirements as well as of continuous change of the environment itself. With the growth of web service paradigm, there is a need for an efficient mechanism in dynamic adaptation process to offer users a better service experience. In particular, context-aware can be adapted in dynamic adaptation by considering user's contexts and device's contexts. Context awareness will be a key area for Mobile Cloud Learning (MCL) environment as it helps in the reasoning process to provide correct education resources for learners' prospect. Contextual information are represented using semantic-based approach for high expressiveness and formal representation for reasoning technique. However, dynamic adaptations frameworks in previous research are still lacking in terms of contextual information of the learner and device, and quality of services (QoS) were not considered. Besides, there is limited support of semantic expressiveness in terms of contextual information and services by using solely semantic-based technique. This paper proposes Dynamic Adaptation in Context Aware Mobile Cloud Learning (DACAMoL) framework to support adaptation process in MCL using semantic-based approach. The framework is applied in MCL mobile application that offers basic learning language.
