Abstract

Nowadays, with the advancement in mobile technologies, the use of web services has seen an explosion in interest for mobile computing environment. However, the heavyweight nature of conventional web services to be deployed on mobile devices brings new challenges in mobile computing in the coming future. Web services technology and mobile computing domains are converging at their intersection which leads to Mobile Web Services (MWS) which enables the service access in users’ mobile device. As the numbers of web services are increasing dramatically, the web service discovery becomes more important to discover the usable web services in effective and efficient manner. This paper discusses an overview of mobile challenges in MWS recent research, and a summary of the issues. Moreover, current approaches of Mobile Web Services Discovery are classified and these approaches are compared to some criteria. The results of this study will help researchers to deliver more applicable solutions with the most appropriate approaches for Mobile Web Services Discovery.
