Service Discovery for Spontaneous Communities in Pervasive Environments

Abstract : In this paper, we propose a community application that helps users to access communities and organize social exchange between members. The key design of this application is to consider community as distinct social entity that should be supported with the services as a single user is. We propose a service discovery strategy based on semantic modeling of service, semantic distance computing and inference rules to offer the right service to communities members. Then, selected services will be deployed through the software platform for deploying reconfigurable distributed applications. \textcopyright Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.
