The vision of a mobile Web in which the computing environment will be composed of various devices that are carried by different users as they go through their daily routine might soon become a reality. In this context, Web services and the Semantic Web are already recognized as important building blocks. On the other hand, so far only little work has been done to support the discovery and selec...

The combination of mobile and Grid computing enables high performance Grid access through resource-limited mobile devices. Many challenges require to be addressed before vision of building the bridge between Grid and mobile computing field is realized. One of the essential challenges is that mobile devices need to locate and select appropriate Grid services in an automatic and flexible way. How...

QoS prediction plays an important role in Web service recommendation. Many existing Web service QoS prediction approaches are highly accurate and useful in Internet environments. However, the QoS data of Web service in mobile Internet is notably more volatile, which makes these approaches fail in making accurate QoS predictions of Web services. In this paper, by weakening the volatility of QoS ...

Various projects have looked into the development of courseware for mobile devices. Examples are the four major projects in mobile learning funded by the European Commission in Brussels. In these projects, mobile learninig courseware was created using Microsoft Reader Work; installing a web-authoring tool like Micromedia dreamweaver MX version 1.0 and installing a desktop browser that has page ...

Rapid growth in Internet (Web) applications and usage of mobile in telecommunication is present trends in communication. In Web 2.0 web services architecture is become versatile tool for enterprise solutions in distributed environment systems. To provide an enterprise solution it is not possible to get professional solution at one place. Hence we need to integrate different web services to prov...

The paper presents an application using a purpose-created web service that is consumed in a multi-channel environment. The service clients span over the common web interface, a JAVA-enabled GSM 2.5G mobile phone, and a Microsoft® Windows® application. The web service provides basic message passing functionality.

The convergence of telecom networks and the Internet is fostering the emergence of environments where Web services are available to mobile users. The variability in computing resources, display terminal, and communication channel require intelligent support on personalized delivery of relevant data and services to mobile users. Personalized service provisioning presents several research challen...

In order to reduce costs and gain competitive advantages, many companies are offering web services that enable software components to be accessed by their customers and trading partners over the internet. With the latest advances in mobile computing and communication technologies, web services are increasingly used to expose functionalities of many legacy systems so that more business-oriented ...

Location-based wireless services enable mobile users to access Web-based information about resources in their immediate vicinity. We describe in this paper how mobility elements of context such as direction and speed of travel are used in the formation of a personal service area. A tourism scenario is presented to provide the motivation for using dynamic context, and we describe the architectur...

During the last years JavaScript Object Notation Remote Procedure Call (JSON-RPC) emerged as the de facto standard for service calling on mobile devices. Unfortunately many enterprise services are still only available as traditional Web Service accessible via Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). In this paper we introduce the Web Service to JSON-RPC...
