Abstract
A service composition task for service broker is to discovery and compose provider’s services to satisfy user’s request. Many researchers model the context utilizing ontology-based or attribute-based method to assist service composition. We propose a new context model by combining the context logic with the dynamic description logic (DDL), where user’ context, provider’s context and broker’s context are described by DDL separately and reasoned under the context logic. The reasoning results finally can be used to discovery and compose services intelligently. We evaluate this model on a simple, yet realistic example, and the results show that our context model provides a practical solution.
