Using Context-Awareness to Support User Interaction withWeb Services

Web Services are a candidate for a component model to represent any sort of dynamic functionality within Web Engineering. Using Web Services within Web applications to support dynamic features raises the question of when to offer services to users of the Web application and how to support user interaction with the services. Context-awareness can assist in providing the user with the appropriate service according to the situation, and help in enhancing the user’s interaction with the service. This paper describes our approach at achieving these goals, and discusses a corresponding system architecture and implementation.
