The proliferation of smartphones and the recent advancement in ubiquitous wireless access have made mobile Web services more possible than ever before. However, finding relevant Web services that can match requests and fit user context remains a major concern. The challenges facingWeb service discovery are furthermagnified by the stringent constraints of mobile devices and the inherit complexit...

Among traditional users of Web resources industry has also a growing set of smart industrial devices with embedded intelligence. As well as humans they need online services, e.g. for condition monitoring, remote diagnostics, maintenance, etc. In this paper we present one possible implementation framework for such Web services. Assumed that such services should be Semantic Web enabled and form a...

because of the need to develop specific measurement scales for different services industries, this study aimed to empirically develop a reliable and valid model specifically for measuring mobile telecommunication service quality. a multidimensional measurement model (ms-qual) has been proposed based on an extensive literature review and then, to assess the model validity, convergent and discrim...

In this paper we discuss our experience with the design, development and deployment of MneMojno Semantic Web Service and Mobile Application. MneMojno makes use of Semantic Web Technologies to create a web service and a mobile application for rating and providing detail information about food products. This paper introduces the main components of the system: a framework to capture information ab...

The emergence of mobile devices has enforced the rapid evolvement of the mobile Web. We envision a new and cheap class of mobile devices, which uses Web Services to provide their functionality. These devices will be especially useful in developing countries where access to computers is difficult due to high costs or missing infrastructure. To help users finding the services appropriate to their...

Web Services technology provides the basis for interoperability, dynamic discovery and integration of distributed components. On the other hand, mobile agents have been utilized for achievement of local interactions with distributed components or selection of resources to use, with their ability to migrate from one host to another. This work presents a general framework for “Mobile Web Services...

Service personalization has direct consequences on service perception and service evaluation. As number of mobile users continue to rise, researchers must focus on addressing the problem of inadequate service personalization due to lack of effective mobile service personalization system. This study underscores the importance of the need for an optimized design for the smartphone based web servi...

Even mobile Web Services are still provided using servers that usually reside in the core networks. Main reason for not providing large and complex Web Services from resource limited mobile devices is not only the volatility of wireless connections and mobility of mobile hosts, but also, the often limited processing power. Offloading of some of the processing tasks is one step towards achieving...
