Abstract:
Within the currently forming pervasive computing environment, services and information sources thrive. Instantiations of the service oriented computing paradigm, e.g. Web, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and Grid services, are continuously emerging, whilst information can be collected from several information sources, e.g. materializations of the Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 trends, Social Networking apps and Sensor Networks. Within this context the development of adaptable service oriented processes utilizing heterogeneous services, in addition to available information, is an emerging trend. This paper presents an approach and an enabling architecture that leverage the provision of data-driven, adaptable, heterogeneous service processes. Core within the proposed architecture is a set of interacting components that accommodate the acquisition of information, the execution of service chains and their adaptation, based on collected information.
