The Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) paradigm promotes the use of basic composition units – services – to support the rapid development of distributed applications. Service co...
Abstract. Composite web services can be orchestrated in a decentralized manner by breaking down the original service specification into a set of partitions and executing them on a...
—Efficient discovery of nearby devices and services is one of the preconditions to obtain a usable pervasive environment. Typical user interfaces in these environments hide the ...
Software agents are one of the building blocks of ambient intelligence and pervasive computing. Adaptation to changes in the execution context is necessary in order to provide cont...
The paper proposes a novel distributed service discovery method for the pervasive computing environment. The method is based on the concept of small world, policy-based advertiseme...
