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...

As many geo-located web services will be deployed in the future, the mobile clients will be interested in locating a specific application server based on requirements such as proximity, service cost per location area, bandwidth and server utilisation rate. This paper presents a middleware system named GLWSA (Geo-Located Web Services Architecture) that aims at satisfying these requirements as we...

Various mobile-web services have expanded with the evolution of mobile Internet technologies and with the increasing variety of smart phones in the proliferating cloud computing environment. Web services for the integration of cloud applications/services can be evaluated at the utilization-level as well as the serviceability of the service on the server side in the management for cloud computin...

With the recent developments in the cellular world, the high-end mobile phones and PDAs are becoming pervasive and are being used in different application domains. Integration of the web services and cellular domains lead to the new application domain, mobile web services. Mobile web service provisioning offers many of its applications in domains like e-commerce, collaborative applications, soc...

Smart Mobile devices and web services are becoming very popular. Mobile devices are physically constrained devices; low processor speed, limited memory, limited battery, and slow intermit wireless connection. This implies to take in consideration these factors when implementing web services for mobile devices. In this paper, we evaluate the RESTful web service for mobile devices against convent...

Evaluating the reliability of loosely coupled Software as a Service through the paradigm of a cluster-based and non-cluster-based web server is considered to be an important attribute for the service delivery and execution. We proposed a novel method for measuring the reliability of Software as a Service execution through load testing. The fault count of the model against the stresses of users ...

this research aimed at   applying servqual model to examine the relationship between mobile banking services and customer satisfaction. while the previous researchers had already examined the effect of qualities services on banking customer satisfaction, no previous study was done on mobile banking. thus, the current paper attempted to fill the gap in the literature by applying servqual model t...
