Abstract

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) can provide a paradigm for constructing context-aware collaboration systems. Particularly, the promise of inexpensive context-aware collaboration devices and context-awareness for supporting the selection of suitable services at run-time have provoked growing adoptation of SOA in collaborative systems. In this paper, we introduce an approach for selecting the most suitable service within a SOA based collaboration system, where suitability depends on the user’s context. The approach includes context modelling, generation of context-aware selection criteria and a suitable service selection methodology.
