Exploiting Semantic Web Services in the Development of Context Aware Systems

Nowadays, web services have become increasingly used and deployed in view of the benefits that they offer. Thus, the increasing of providers and service offerings as well as the features of mobile devices has made the selection of relevant services a difficult operation. In addition, the information related to the user, called context / situation, became very useful for the implementation of the eloquent choice of the sought-after functionalities. In this paper, we present a comparative study of semantic web services and service discovery approaches. Then we propose the model of a context-aware semantic service with their process of implementation. We also highlight the discovery algorithm based on the concept of context / situation.
