Enabling context-aware web services: methods, architectures, and technologies

This book is the first of its kinds to bridge the gap between two previously separated research and development areas: context-awareness and Web services. It serves well as a valuable reference point for researchers, educators, and engineers who are working in Internet computing, service-oriented computing, distributed computing, and e-Business, as well as graduate students who wish to learn and spot the opportunities for their studies in this emerging research and development area. It is also of general interest to anyone using the service paradigms for software development, particularly on developing context-aware applications
