Adaptation of Web services to the context based on workflow: Approach for self-adaptation of service-oriented architectures to the context

Abstract: The emergence of Web services in the information space, as well as the advanced technology of SOA, give tremendous opportunities for users in an ambient space or distant, empowerment and organizations in various fields application, such as geolocation, E-learning, healthcare, digital government, etc.. In fact, Web services are a solution for the integration of distributed information systems, autonomous, heterogeneous and self-adaptable to the context. However, as Web services can evolve in a dynamic environment in a well-defined context and according to events automatically, such as time, temperature, location, authentication, etc.. We are interested in improving their SOA to empower the Web services to be self adaptive contexts. In this paper, we propose a new trend of self adaptability of Web services context. Then applying these requirements in the architecture of the platform of adaptability to context WComp, by integrating the workflow. Our work is illustrated by a case study of authentication.
