Abstract:
Web services provide a successful way to communicate distributed applications, in a platform- independent and loosely coupled manner. Even though there are examples of good practice for the design, development and management of web services, there are scopes in which web service adaptation is required, such as context adaptation. Context-awareness is a complex topic to deal with but grants added value to any service which provides it. In this regard, there are multiple proposals in the recent literature which face the problem from different perspectives and using different technologies. This paper aims to show an overview of the most relevant approaches in this area, with a strong emphasis on those particularly related to the authors’ work on the topic, namely using model-driven and/or aspect-oriented approaches.
