Abstract

The context-aware services refers to applications that use so-called contextual information to provide appropriate services or relevant information to the user or other applications to perform a specific task. An important challenge in context-aware service oriented systems is the creation of a new service on demand to carry out more complex tasks through the composition of existing services. In this work, we aim to propose a semantic based architecture for the development of context aware services composition using Artificial Intelligence (AI) planning. The straightforward translation between AI planning through PDDL and Semantic web services via OWL-S allows to automate the composition process. Thus planning based service composition launches a goal-oriented composition procedure to generate a plan of composite service corresponding to the user request.
