Abstract
In today’s ubiquitous environments, more and more companies use cloud computing services to achieve their everyday operations and processes. However, the development of these services is a tedious and time consuming task. Moreover, existing solutions rarely take into account the personalization and the adaptation of services to the context of their use. In this paper, we propose an architecture for context-aware service composition in cloud environments to address the challenges mentioned above. The architecture takes advantage of service composition as a way to create new composite services from a set of atomic or composite ones, causing the reduction of development efforts and time to market, and also, the introduction of context-awareness to manage the dynamics of ubiquitous environments.
