IYOUIT is a prototype mobile service to pioneer a context-aware digital lifestyle and its reflection on the Web. The service is made freely available and leverages Semantic Web technology to implement smart application features. We intend to not only present and demonstrate IYOUIT at ISWC’08 but also to provide it to conference attendees, based on their demand.

This paper presents a development and an evaluation of a mobile mashup generator system to compose mobile mashup applications and Tethered Web services on a mobile device (TeWS). With less programming efforts, our system and description language framework enables a rapid development, a reusability of working components and a delivery of new cooperative mobile mashup applications. Working compon...

  Network and processing overhead associated with web services is a significant challenge to its performance. As a result, web service providers often announce a service level agreement. This ensures that consumers, who pay for the service, can get the service at a given quality level. In this paper, we study the competition between two providers offering functionally the same web services, whe...

Recent reports by IT research groups argue that recent developments in mobile devices and the mobile web will lead to the majority of Internet users accessing web services via mobile devices in the next few years. An analysis of web access statistics for mobile web browsers confirms that, if trends continue, web service access from mobile devices should exceed desktop access by end 2013. Due to...

Mobile phone penetration in the developing world shows remarkable growth patterns, which triggers competition among mobile operators and service providers. As a consequence, this has made mobile communications more affordable for people in developing countries. At the beginning, people use mobile phones only for audio or text communications. Later, people start using their mobiles to access the...

Availability and reliability of Web services are important issues for developing many electronic business applications. Unfortunately, it is hard to guarantee the availability of a service given that the number of its requests might be potentially huge. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for robust Web service provisioning based on mobile agent and resource discovery technologies. With ...

We present partial information extraction approach to lightweight integration on the Web. Our approach allows us to extract dynamic contents created by scripts as well as static HTML contents. Our approach has three application areas: automatic generation of Web services from Web applications, automatic integration of Web applications with Web services on desktop computers, and automatic integr...

In this paper, we introduce a mobile services environment, namely SMOP, in which semantic web based service capability matching and locationaware information gathering are both used to develop mobile applications. Domain independency and support on semantic matching in mobile service capabilities are the innovative features of the proposed environment. Built-in semantic matching engine of the e...

This paper describes the design of our service-oriented architecture to support mobile multiple object tracking augmented reality applications applied to education and learning scenarios. The architecture is composed of a mobile multiple object tracking augmented reality client, a web service framework, and dynamic content providers. Tracking of multiple real objects and retrieval of associated...

In mobile agents systems, classical techniques for system optimization are not applicable due to continuous changes of the execution contexts. MAWeS (MetaPL/HeSSE Autonomic Web Services) is a framework whose aim is to support the development of self-optimizing autonomic systems for Web service architectures. In this paper we apply the autonomic approach to the reconfiguration of agent-based app...
