Abstract:
The current ever-growing evolution of mobile technologies allows users to access services using many kinds of mobile devices. On the other hand, Semantic Web technologies are exploited to add semantics to service descriptions and to automatically locate services that fulfill a given user request in highly dynamic environments. In this paper, we propose the integration of two modern service technologies: Web services and mobile agents. This integration enables wireless users to access and invoke semantically enriched Web services without the need for simultaneous and online presence of the service requestor. Furthermore, in order to improve the capabilities of service registries, we exploit the advantages offered by the Semantic Web framework. Specifically, we use enhanced registries enriched with semantic information that provide semantic matching to service queries and published service descriptions. In addition, we will consider the information defining the context of the user and the Web service in order to best satisfy the user request.
